Can an O300 (A, B, C or D) be used in place of the C145 in my '52 170B? What are the differences between the A, B, C and D?
Yeah, I know it's really the same engine, just wondered about the legality of installing it -- i.e.: is it an approved engine or is there an STC?
The reason I ask is I may be looking at a major overhaul, and I've seen a few used O300's advertised.
Thanks!

The differences have been answered in a post buy George in the MX library titled 0-300 differences. The 0-300-A is the same as the C-145 and is interchangable on the 170 airframe. The B, C and D model will require some kind of approval. There are some STC's but most are done with one time approvals which in a past life where easier to get than now.
