You can always move weight to the tail. But watch the empty weight,
and how much useful load you're ending up with.

Yeah. Kind of like stuffing an IO-540 in a Long EZ.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't some people put a Buick V- 8 in
Tailwinds? That would weigh more than a 470, wouldn't it?

Others have gone the Tim Allen view of more power, in airplanes.

The 470 in a Tailwind would go kinda like a souped up Chevy 350, in a BD-4?
I know that has been done. :-)
