Space is not a problem as LM said years ago that the current sensors are capable of doing it. Throw in 25+ years of miniaturization (see gains in latest EODASv2 spec) and it's a no brainier.

While the MLU might get an avionics "overhaul", I don't think it will be a complete swap for new gear. I think they'll get new ICP cards, radar modules, HMD, etc... But I don't think it will be a rewire job (apart from getting older F-22s up to current std).
