Yeah, I know the prop would change - the current prop is
the old Hartzell design with the external oil line /
diaghram, unlike the McCauley prop / O-470 combo - the
O-470 crank is drilled for oil passage.  I don't know how
much of the other stuff would have to be done / fitted
though, since the 470 series was just a continuation of the
E.  Dad's talked about it when his comes due, but that's
not likely 'til I inherit the thing. :p   Personally, I've
flown behind the E-series Continentals probably more than
anything else (although I'm definately catching up quickly
with O-300 time) and would almost hate to change to a 470. 
But if you can't get parts for your E-225-8 then what do
you do?

Tell me he's going to re-arrange some of the instruments in
the panel too?  Do some cosmetics at least???  I know your
wife would greatly appreciate it.
