The only musts are virgin porting , if they've been grounded on already the timings might not work with the stroke. Its really pick your poison, I've got stock cylinder 4 mills running 6.2 in the 1/8 in uncut stock chassis and 7mills going faster. The 7 was definitely easier to get the numbers out of but for what it is 4 mills run hard. The only thing you have to consider is the crank is a cpl Hundo more. I use forged wsm crank webs and put all my own parts on it. They've been really holding up well but just like anything else its attention to detail on assembly
