You will need to mod the lower cowl, modify the exhaust system and at least 2 intake tubes on the engine to make it fit without making blisters on the cowl. You will have to plan on 35 lbs of extra nose weight and move stuff aft like the battery and hyd pump or possibly do away with the header fuel. Those are the main points but there is much more detail. Randy L.
