Billy,
Have you considered a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-360?
You can configure it to put out 230 bhp up to 20,000ft.
This is the same bhp per cylinder as the certified Lycoming TIO-540 at 350
bhp.
Above 6,000 ft you will have more power than a 260 bhp IO-540.
It comes in close to, or less than, the weight of an IO-540.
The extra space in the front of the cowl leaves room for a nice cooling
plenum diffuser!
The trade off is giving up 20-30 bhp on take off and then proportionally
less up to 6,000ft.
Or a turbo-normalized TIO-540 (at) 260 bhp to 20,000ft.
With this you could carry extra baggage all the time!

Hello,
Has anybody (besides me) considered putting a 4 cylinder lyc (or
derivative) in the 10?

I wouldn't be the one to try it, probably, but would love to see how it
worked. I think that is certainly worth a try. Giving up 30hp at sea level
isn't a big deal. This thing outperforms a Cirrus any day with the 260hp
(as far as getting off the ground and climbing to altitude). Getting some
more HP at altitude would be a great advantage. What would be the weight
difference between the IO-540 and the TIO-360? You would definitely need to
do something about W&B, but moving the battery up to the engine compartment
would certainly be a good start, as well as keeping the ELT out of the tail.
The engine mount would probably have to put the engine at least several
inches further forward of the firewall than the IO-540. Like I said, I
wouldn't be the first to try, probably, but would love to see how it works
out.
This is all IMHO, so please do not archive.
