Search for Mini-Me swaps, the D15B short block has smaller mains, shorter stroke crank (which is not a bad thing), but the con rods... They don't play well with rough use.

If you are really going to punish this thing, I think that will be failure point number one. Some say they separate in the 8000 rpm neighborhood, mine haven't, but I don't spend any time up there either.
