Default 200 Block and crank work - Recomendations please !

I have a 4 x 4 Cossy 200 block, crank and rods

My plans are to fit high compression pistons and run the cossy bottom end with a high spec 8v Pinto head (who should I use for my head work ?) on 48 Webers.

Who do you recomend that can knife edge / lighten and balance the crank assembly ?

Any good suppliers for correct type pistons to take block out to 2.1 or maybe 2.2 if poss and still keep 4 x 4 rods ?

Or what other ideas have you lot got ? (dont want to go the N/A Cossy or Turbo route though !)

btw: Engine is for my MKII Escort

Mods if this is in the wrong section then please move as required.

Thanx in advance for any help/advise given

Knife edge will lose some of the extra weight of the crank (or am I wrong ? - lol)

All this Cossy stuff is new to me !!
