... A Contintal IO-520 or 550 engine upgrade would be a much better choice.
I think the IO-520 or 550 is pretty much out of the question because of the high costs, and expensive fuel..
The SMA engine looks to be our best card now.. We still have about 4 years left on our current engine, so hopefully there will be a STC on the 300hp SMA engine before that..

most of my jumps are out of a Cessna 185. 20 min to altitude. Dont be an airplane snob. Skydiver used to be happy to jump out of a 172 at 8000 ft.

True, but people also used to be happy with flying rounds and do nothing but belly.. When we reach TBO on our current engine, i think it is important to upgrade to keep activity up..

Cessna recently announced that they will offer the 230 horsepower SMA diesel engine - as a factory option - in their 182 JT-A.
Cessna will market the 182 JT-A mainly to operators in countries where 100LL avgas is difficult to obtain.

The Soloy conversion is more than just an engine swap. it involves major airframe modifcation. So, no you could not put one on a 182. A Contintal IO-520 or 550 engine upgrade would be a much better choice.
