It looks by "replacement 170", he means that his design replaces everything that makes a 170 what it is with the exact opposite of what's on a 170...
Buy a Meyers 200 (which is what that airplane looks like to me) and call it a day.

We owned a 200 for years. HIGHLY underated. Completely blows the doors off a Bonanza/Comanche/Mooney/Etc... Unfortunately they are hand built so if you or your A&P aren't clever fabricators you are kinda screwed.
I've got lotsa Warner time, and a sweeter engine there isn't, but it's a lot of engine. Around 500 cubic inches. And with the stock cast rings TBO wasn't very high either.
