KelvinG mentions E-225 w/electric constant speed prop.
What is a E-225? Can you provide more information about the electric constant speed prop? Who makes it? Do they have a web site? Has any one else used one? Is it heavy? Is there a diameter available in the 80"-82" range?

Google Continental E225-8 and you will get a lot of details. Basically this is a 7:1 compression 225hp aircraft engine that is very inexpensive because some parts, (including props) are hard to come by. It is at least 60 lbs lighter than an O-470 and can run auto fuel as is. The prop has an electric adjustable pitch and was made by Raytheon Aircraft Company.
I chose it because I was willing to scavenge hunt for parts, I got a good deal on a factory overhauled engine, and in the Alaska bush aviation fuel can be VERY expensive. Besides, it’s an experimental, why not play around?

Now I understand. You did not mention that it was a Continental E-225 in your first post. This is an alternate engine/prop combination which was offered on the early Beech Bonanza.
