im over boring it as the **** who claimed to have done it in the recon have probably galzed the bores and im putting in forged pistons once they and everyhing has been balanced.

I can take it up to 2.3ltr.

I reckon it'd go to ~2065cc

Incidentally, I used to have Triumph GT6 pistons in my old A series powered Mini.

Anhow, when you've figured that out the formula for capacity is:

(bore/2) x (bore/2) x pi x stroke x number of cylinders.

Or, to put it another way: half-bore-squared x pi x length x num. cylinders

(pi is c. 3.14159 ...)

Enjoy the calcs!

I worked it out originally in cubic inches and converted, but doing the calcs in mm and assuming 50 thou is 1.27mm it ends up as 2067cc

200sx transplant ruins the moment when you blow past someone and then they found out its got a 32year old engine in it

Why not just go with the 2500 engine?
