Mike, This is a question that should go to your local FSDO, which often times gets a different answer depending on the FSDO Office. When a friend did a major rebuild of his Hummelbird (yes, the one that made it to several gatherings), he changed nearly everything about the plane including differnt engine type, empty weight, and gross weight. FSDO advised him to keep the original data plate on the plane, and rivet a second data plate with the new information next to the original data plate.
