A 172 is a more possible choice, though it's airframe engine mount attachment fittings are light for that power, and would require structural reinforcement. The cost of the mod would probably exceed the cost to buy the flying candidate airplane. You gotta really want it!
I'm in the midst of doing $380,000 worth of upgrades and mods, to a perfectly acceptable stock 182 which I bought for $72,000, and flew home for a client. This includes an engine change.
