I highly doubt anyone will de-stroke and over bore the FA20. I guess you could run a FB25 block with its 94mm bore and a FB16 crank with 82mm stroke. That would give you 2.3lt roughly. The you could run the FA20 heads with oversized valves and some porting. But who knows if the FB16 crank would hold up to revs as well as the FA20s because it is built for economy not performance.

Would make for an interesting franken engine tho
