I'm looking to do same thing and also need info. Am considering also water cooled. In general, I have gathered that some kind of bolt-pattern adapter may be needed; possibly some metal cuts to fit some types of engines. I would think that the stock transmission might not last with a stronger engine; and better brakes might also be needed. I'm looking for more knowledgeable answers than my own thoughts.
