read that before loads of times jsut for 8v 2.3.... im wanting 16v 2.3... Think my best bet is to use 2.3 as a complete engine.. insert rs camshafts.... get a ported and poslished head ... exhaust ... bike carbs and should see around 170-180 bhp .. not frogetting to remove balancer shafts in process... That way no worries bout compression ro mixed engines...

A botom end lighten and balance may help it rev more freelty aswell..
