In a word, fuggedaboudit!

Which part of "no way would you ever get this legal in a million years"
don't you understand?

There's no STC for this engine/airframe combination? Stop, do not pass Go.
End of story, thanks for playing, NEXT!

No way in hell you will ever get this plane approved (well, do you have half
a million dollars to get your own STC? if not, forget it).

Contrary to the occasional internet rumor, you can NOT take a certificated
airplane like a 172RG, do whatever you want to it, and just paint
"experimental" on the door and fly it off to Oshkosh.

Funky instruments don't even register on the problem-meter here. Even if
the plane was given to you for free, the only way it could fly legally in
the US would be to cut it up and sell the parts.

Run away. Quickly.

Need Some Advice From thoughs Who Know,

Say you found a 1984 172RG that has had a 250HP powerplant put in and some
extra long range fuel tanks but no STC's or any other paperwork for the
aircraft except for engine airframe and prop log's. Aircraft also has some
very odd instruments also that would have to be replaced with standard
measurement instruments. Do you think it would be a problem bringing this
aircraft in to the U.S. If the price was right? What hoops would one have
to
go through or should one pass because of a night mare of paperwork.It is
legal to fly in country of origin!
