182 engine in a 172

[Scottw105]

Hi guys does anybody have any idea what would need changing on a 172 to run a 182 lump in it? As far as i am aware they are both an F4R engine so i don't really see an issue and the big difference was the exhaust manifold.

It's just the exhaust manifold except for the breather on the top. Internally they are no different.

So what makes them 10 bhp more? The manifold?

The inlet manifold is better matched to the head. That wouldn't account for it all though.

Its not 10 bhp, its 10ps
