Something you would have to look into mate. My crank came from a friend so I got it cheep my block at 500 quid was cheap not sure if you would still get one. Different types of liners out there I took the route my tuner uses. Would have to be something you would need to seriously price up. But in a road car that’s not going to be thrashed to death in the red line every time it’s driven like a race/track build you have to surly ask yourself dose 25kg justify that extra expense. 200 block with liners must be strong enough after all rod did over 20 thousand miles driven very hard on the road with a number of 200mph runs. But he did have a fancy crank. But at the power level your talking more than strong enough don’t you think?
