It can be done just expect to pay $$$$$ to do it.
Quick and dirty recipe for a 2.3+ liter C900T
2.1NA block bored to 94mm and sleeved
Billet crank with counter weights removed and Mallory welded on to weight stubs (very heavy metal)
Custom long rods & short pistons to get a better piston to rod ratio.
Full rotating balance
And like I said a truckload of cash.
But instead of seeking added displacement I would do the block as above, then get a custom crank to de-stroke the motor to 2 liters. That way you can have insane revs to the tune of 12K RPM+. That would sound sooooo sweet:-)
