The 340s with RAM conversions (more power and vortex generators) are a lot nicer for carrying capability and speed. The TSIO-520s take some care of course but with the right operating practices you can make them last a long time.

What are you upgrading from?
It'd fit me fine then, I'm 6'1", and I've looked at the RAM web site, very interesting. Looks like the later years are the best if you can find a moderately low time airframe.

Actually, I'm not upgrading from anything, it's been years since I piloted an aircraft, but I'm finding the urge hasn't left me, but I'm not particularly serious yet either.

Thanks for the info.
