For ngb-

I tend to agree with Larry Bowdish. I frequently take my 337D (non-STOL) in and out of the 2300' blacktop strip where I live, and we're surrounded by tall trees. If I'm where I should be speed-wise on approach (85-90) and hit the touchdown zone I can usually stop in about 16-1800 ' without undue effort; on turf you can do better than that (on soggy turf, even better!).

You should be fine if it's flat around your strip, even with an engine out at gross weight.
