Well, the engine HAS flown, and reports are that it's entirely satisfactory, right? I think that buys some credibility until the actual...
Another thing to consider as an E-AB engine, the O-300's are very lacking in performance/efficiency parts compared to the Lyc. For example, the...
If you lived near me I could do it. I have access to both 172 types. ...I assumed just about everyone knows someone with a 172.

650 HP @ 3800 is 900 pound feet torque. Even a 500 inch LS will need a BMEP of 271 PSI to get there. That's not happening as a NA configuration....
No, but very much in the ballpark. Do you have a surveillance camera stashed in my hangar?
