You forgot that it gets air-conditioning as a bonus of the conversion...

I have seen the plane, nicely done...

Here's a link to view a successfull conversion from a Franklin powered
Seabee to a Chevy LS-1 powered Seabee.

The conversion has flown over 600 hours. Improvements in climb,
cruise, fuel consumption and takeoff over original. Interestingly, the
conversion makes more power than the Franklin powered original, yet
burns less gas. In addition, it's quieter as it incorporates two
stainless steel mufflers.
