Does anyone have experience with a 200HP IO-360  that was converted to carburetor fuel system?

  

 It sounds like the only change was to fuel  delivery, i.e., the higher compression pistons, 200HP sump and intakes were  used.  FI was removed and carb installed.

  

 Other than susceptability for carb ice, are there  any other disadvantages to this swap?  Seems like the engine should still  make 200 HP if the installed carb is not a flow restriction.

  

 Thanks,

  

 Larry

I'm not sure there is a carb that was jetted and tested at Lycoming for the 200HP IO-360.

  

 I am going to check on this and more details to follow...

Why would you want to go backwards from the advantages of FI  to Carb?

Having had FI and carb engines, I would always rather have the  FI system.
