This is how National EAA explains it:
Question :
I have a homebuilt airplane that meets all of the criteria for Sport Pilot except that it is a few miles an hour too fast. I would like to change the prop to a slower speed that does match Light Sport so that I can then someday fly it as a Sport Pilot. Is this possible?

Answer :
No, you cannot make an existing aircraft that does not meet the definition of a light-sport aircraft (ref. 14 CFR 1.1) eligibile for operation by sport pilots regardless of how you modify the aircraft. The LSA definition requires that the aircraft be both initially certificated AND continuously operated within the definition in order to be eligible for operation by sport pilots. The aircraft you describe was neither initially certificated nor continuously operated within the LSA definition, so it cannot be made eligible for operation by sport pilots.
