Re-engining the A-5 runs into a problem in engine diameter. There is a major forging that serves as the spindle frame for the horizontal and vertical tail surfaces and changing that to handle a larger diameter engine than the J79 would not be a trivial or cheap effort.The use I would have preferred seeing would be the afterburning TF41 replacing the TF30 in the F-14A when the F401 engine was cancelled.
