The 65 psi end head pressure is a bitter pill but NFPA 13 allows them to be retained for modifications to existing systems. That clause is part of the current standard so bringing the system up to current standards does not exclude it’s application. Mediocre fire protection at best but allowed. A discussion with the AHJ at the BEGINNING beats a fight after the fact since interpretation enters the fray.
