C-85 using 0-200 crankshaft rebuild

[wacoc8]

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

We just did this to my friend's C 140. Aircraft Specialties has the whole kit including the STC for about $4000. It has a new crank, new pistons and reconditioned rads. Divco can do the machine work required. I understand it is best to use the stock C85 cam if possible. My friend found a brand new one on Ebay and Aircraft Specialties inspected and tagged it. We also went with a Marvel carb. Aerosport Power did the rebuild and it runs strong in the test cell. Don
