dont forget machining off the bottom of the bores for journal clearance. Making the stroke longer means higher deck hieght, unless you absorb all the extra stroke length at the bottom of the bore (by lowering piston height) and the pistons woould fall plop out of the bores of you did that. That F2 2200cc was originally a LOT smaller engine, and its been bored and stroked as much as humanly possible with any kind of reliablility. Probably flex like a plastic sled too.
I agree K6, saying "mazda truck performance" is like saying "enthusiastic rectal exam", the two just dont belong together. Stick on a weber, a header and MAYBE a cam and be happy with 100-105 hp. If you go fast, you are just a 1/4 mile away from all the girls anyway.
