To add to that, cylinders can be sleeved and brought back to factory standard sizes and tolerances too.
What's the plan for attaching the alternative engine to your existing transmission? also clutch to flywheel? Will it fit in the engine bay without having to modify the bulkhead or change the position of the downstream driveline?
Also note that you can get good used 2.25 engines for under $1000 if you look around and are patient. Sometimes WELL under $1000.
