Drill your 'corners' of the notch area & cut to them (helps prevent 90* sharp angles for a stress crack to form).
Bolt-in is fine but if you get an opportunity @ a later time for some 'insurance' welds, they certainly won't hurt (unless the next owner wants to remove them for something different).
Good drill bits & some cutting fluid to help keep them cool.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
