I was not considering this swap, it has already been done on a flying kit plane that is now for sale. TTAF & E is over 300 hrs.

My question was seeking input on issues to consider other than the carb icing issue that I mentioned. If it still has 8.7:1 pistons as represented, then it probably makes a little more than 180 HP but less than a FI engine since the FI engine, at least theoretically has more even fuel distribution. For the same reason, I would predict that the carbed version would have slighly poorer fuel economy.

My question is really whether to live with it (as someone has for 300+ hrs.) if the alteration is reflected in the price or if the alteration should be viewed as something that absolutely has to be reversed.

I apologize for not making a more detailed post in the first place. Hopefully, this post is clear enough that you don't need to do any mind reading.
