Lee,
You didn't mention if the engine was being torn down or not. If your
prop strike resulted in needing new blades you should look at Lycoming
Service Bulletins 533 and 475, as well as, AD 91-14-22 regarding the
mandatory engine inspection after prop strikes. Technically you can
call your plane and engine experimental and not comply but good
judgement calls for following the advice of the manufacturer and the
FAA. ADs are usually written in blood. Hidden damage can result in a
catastrophic engine failure down the road.
Also, if there might be anything to be learned from your unfortunate
landing, please share it with the group. It might prevent someone else
from experiencing the same thing.

I had a prop strike on a badly botched landing (don't ask!). The prop
shop
couldn't find replacement blades and Hartzell wanted way too much new
ones,
making a rebuilt prop with the original hub the same cost as a new one.
