There were huge difficulties to get working burners in the early days. Putting the heaters in has a signiicant effect all he way forward through the engine. Not to say that you can't home build a copy of a later version's burners, but you will need the modified fuel control unit, as well as the nozzles, flame stabilising gutters etc. Etc.

Bengo, it's not like they are creating something that doesn't exist. All of the major technical engineering work has been done it now a modification of a burner to work on the current engines
