C-85 using 0-200 crankshaft rebuild
I need to rebuild my C-85 and would like to get the most Hp. out of it. I understand that using a 0-200 crank, stock cylinders and pistons with a c-90 camshaft will achieve this. Is this a good combination? what carb is best? Is there a better combination? What else do i need to know before getting started?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
A good starting point is Harry Fenton's notes on small Continentals:

He discusses several of the issues you're asking about. He also recently gave an EAA webinar on the subject, which suggests to me that he's still enthusiastically helping people with these maintenance and mod procedures.
HTH,
Jeff
