I would add that the book numbers between a 65 and 85 or O200 is about 35 lbs. with the starter and generator accounting for 25 of the 35 - you can cut into that by going to after market starters and alternators (B&C or Sky-Tec). The aircraft's W&B will determine if that extra weight is feasible or not.
