As John T said earlier, its in the TC.

My Input.
If you take a C90-12, and remove the rear case, and install the no starter type rear cover, then it can be installed as per. Above.
The FAA FSDO said, it would be best to simply fill out a 337 for Field Approval for the change to the rear case cover, (cast or plate type) and install the engine as
Per. 311 (C )(10), This 337 may not really be required, but when in doubt, fill out a 337.
I just thought this was interesting.
By the way, I just got off the phone with the Oklahoma FAA, and he said that under the FAA Inspectors Handbook (part something) You can install a larger engine on any aircraft, with only a Field Approval, as long as it does not exceed a 10% increase in HP.
