Do you have more info on the belt driven  governor?  I have considered
keeping my 74" McCauley CS prop when I sell my Lycoming and going to the
Marcotte redrive.
Is there any way of adapting the existing governor from the lyc to belt
drive?

Paul,

  At the EAA chapter hangar here in San Diego there is a 13B that was built
by Racing Beat for a guy who is planning to market the engine for aircraft
use. I think Racing Beat had a picture of this engine in their catalog at
one point.
  Anyway, the engine has a belt driven governor on it. If your interested
in seeing a picture and a little more info let me know and I'll try to
remember to take the digital camera out there and get a few pix. Probably
wouldnt be able to do this until the weekend.

There seems to be quite a bit of interest in using AC constant
speed props so I would say yes. The one on my C182 gets it oil
supply through its mounting base so one would have to deal with
that as well. Sounds like some kind of adapter is required.
 
BTW the weight of my constant speed prop is 37 pounds.
