Lee,
Have you ever done that? Huge work and you better know what you are doing.

The more power you have, the safer the airplane, assuming the CG is properly
set up. Why? Because you climb out quicker, clear obstacles sooner, and
have more altitude margin for problems that crop up...such as a dropped
cylinder, deton

Upgrading all the way up to 2180 is easily doable with your current engine

No. My first KR2 had an 1835, and it flew well with it. However, if you
could build it at 450 pounds or less, then you might get away with the 1600.
I don't think it will kill you, but you won't have very good climb.
