182 / 180 modifications

[scantech]

Hi everybody, just joined the list.
I've come over to the States for a couple of months hoping to buy a Cessna 180/182 for a small skydiving concern in Southern Africa. In addition to purchasing the aircraft I am planning on having a number of modifications done while here. If there is anybody with infomation, links or contacts with regards to the following mods, please let me know. I would appreciate all the help I could get.
- Floats. We opperate from a Lake
- Larger engine. Possibly a 285hp?
- Wing extensions.
- Mufflers. Noise consious neighbours!
The aircraft that I purchase would ideally have as many of these mods as possible. Anybody know of something available.
Further considerations.
- Price!!!. Tight budget
- Minimal Instrumentation. Will only fly in VF conditions
- Interior condition not important. Most of it will be removed.
- Narrow body, I believe 1956 to 1960
Thanks
Gordon
