RV8 engine

I found a Lycoming IO-360 B1C. A bit puzzled to learn this is shown as 177hp. It does have a hollow crank and prop gov. 108hrs. smoh. It's been pickled for 10 years so my intention would be disassemble and inspect. I'm guessing a bit more hp can be added through various means when putting it back together. Anyone know anything about this model? Your thoughts on this being a good fit for an RV8. I'd like to strike a balance between fun (light pitch control) and CC speed.
