Reading the post again I was reminded it is not a Sterba prop so disregard my post. I have no experience with a Sensenich prop so it might work.
My experience with Sterba props is that he "over-rates" the pitch number - he labels it a pitch that is higher than most other props with similar performance at a given RPM would have. So that 76" pitch Sensenich might be labeled a 78 or 80 if Sterba were to make it. Ed says that's not so, so it's just my observation, not a policy.
Sensenich makes props with outstanding performance, both in climb and speed (both at the same time), and I highly recommend them (that's what I flew on N56ML, and now have on Joe's plane) but I think this much pitch may require quite an engine. Another factor though is "blade area", which can be a large variable as well. Sterba makes some great props also....that's what I have on Jim Faughn's plane.
I'd get the prop serial number and call Sensenich in Florida and ask them how that prop will work with the O-200. It's entirely possible it's a perfect match, and they would certainly know.
