Default Top-Flite Cessna - Engine selection

All,

I am in the early stages of building a Top-Flite Cessna 182 and am trying to make up my mind on the engine to use. I have a SuperTigre G75 new in box and thought I'd use it but Top-Flite / Tower seem unable to supply the incowl muffler and header for it.

I also have a new-ish OS 91FS w pump in my Spacewalker (which I fly a lot) but am loathed to remove it, even though I could probably bolt the G75 in there to replace it.

Lastly, I have an OS 1.20FS w pump in my Stearman (which I hardly ever fly). I do wonder though it a 120 wouldn't be somewhat excessive for the Cessna.

Since I'm building the Cessna as scale as I can, I don't want to have to cut the cowl for a protruding engine head or mufflers.

Choices, choices, choices ............

Any suggestions?
