Very impressed with the increased performance of the EXP119. Wondering if anyone has looked into converting the old EXP10 engine to the EXP119. unless I'm missing something, the core engine stays the same with a new exhaust and intake system. So installing the new Vetterman exhaust system, new cold sump, intake tubes, and new higher-flow servo would be the main changes. Also the variable cooling flow exit. The cold sump may not provide much performance increase, so keeping the old one may be an option if it doesn't interfere with the new exhaust system. Modifying the lower cowl for the new exhaust system should be feasible and would avoid re-doing the fitting, hinges/fasteners, paint etc.
The new servo is priced around $2.5k, but I don't know the cost of the exhaust system or cold sump. But an extra 10kts and much improved climb might be worth it
