Does anyone know if the FAA will routinely approve switching out the J3A5D (single drive dual mag) with the J3A5 (individual mags) on the Dakota?
At least one person has been able to do it:

"Two modifications that the club made to the aircraft were replacing the stock Lycoming O-540-J3A5D engine with a Lycoming O-540-J3A5 when it came time for an overhaul, plus replacing the two-blade prop with a three-blade Hartzell Top Prop."
