If money is tight and you simply want to save a little more fuel, find you a set of 225 carbs for your 200. Jet them stock and set your timing to 18-19 degrees at 5K RPM's. Then get a large diameter prop for her and you will be about as efficient as any carb motor will be. the 225 carbs actually help out in the economy department contrary to what many will lead you to believe. You'll lose a little just off idle, but your 3500-4000 cruise will improve. Unless your dead set on wanting a new engine, I would keep the one you have. You have more history with your current engine and know more about how it's been takin care of. And with a FICHT it's not if it will break down, it's when and how many $K's will it cost.
