Greetings Tim(othy),
Welcome home. We're a club full of friends you haven't met yet!
There are lots of smart folks in this club who participate in this forum and they are weighing in one-by-one here. I've read all the responses and you've got a lot of good advice here. I haven't anything substantive to add, but I will reiterate a couple of thoughts: Taildraggers can be a lot of fun, and if you run across one I'd strongly recommend you give it serious consideration. The 150 HP is, in my opinion, a wonderful modification, but it is one you will come out way ahead if you buy one already accomplished.
And Gary is absolutely spot on with his advice to be dang sure the paperwork is all complete, accurate and up-to-date.
In short, the 150/150 TD is one sweet puppy, and if you find one you'll be glad you did.
