Lycoming O-540-A 250hp powered taildraggers?

[imwithtuxedo]

what experimental backcountry taildraggers will work with an O-540-A Lycoming? From my cursory search I've come up with Bearhawks and Maule M-9. Any others? I've got an extra engine that needs to go in something and I want a taildragger!

Pretty much any experimental
I know a guy with a sky bolt that has a 540 on it. Rocket ship.

Yes, it is a Cessna 185 Experimental

BTW, a factory assist built Bushliner Cyclone less interior, panel, and firewall forward is $630K. Be careful what you wish for!

Not backcountry, but a 540 does well in a Skybolt.

Looks like it's "down" to $512k for the factory assist. Damn, badass setup, but....damn.

Maybe some variant of the Pawnee could take it?

Or this. But maybe find someone who is done building and just needs an engine and partner with him.

A few have installed them in an rv-8. A Harmon rocket also, but neither are really back country.

This isn't a back-country machine, but I ferried this plane a decade ago and then trained it's then-new pilot to fly it. It was a hoot with an IO-540!
