There are retrofit kits available, however I would recommend that this is not a DIY project..Best left for a qualified tech. In addition to replacing parts adjustments are necessary.

MBK3 is absolutely right. The conversion alone is not difficult but to make the proper adjustments requires specialized test equipment.
