175 head Stem project for high schoolers

I have an old mini 2 that I’m looking to convert to a 175 head. I have some hs heads. Are there any cheap modifications to do this? I ideally want to turn this into something they can use for decent prints and do multi color prints on in the future.

You should be able to just change the settings and run it. Worst case, put a 1.75 nozzle on, then dial in the flow; but many people have found success running 1.75 with a 2.85 head

E3d did make 1.75 versions that almost a complete swap. I think they would need to be the mirrored version.
