That would be a backwards step Eldon. The 1725 Hunter motor is older technology and less powerful than the 1600 Avenger motor. It's also taller and probably won't fit anyway...plus it won't bolt onto the Avenger gearbox...you would need to use a Hunter gearbox too.
Best to put new rings and a GT cam in your Avenger motor to make a little flyer!

There is an old post where that we discussed this and the Avenger engine is clearly better.

Bigger isn't always better and even though the Hunter engine is bigger, it is old technology.
