To be more specific, the extra 'drilling' required when swapping a 73-up c.member into a 63-72 frame is 2-holes. The holes aren't 100% aligned between the different c.members requiring the drill to 'stretch' the holes slightly.

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.
