    Starting with a 2.4 by adding long stroke crank and rods from a 2.4/2.7

    E or solex cams.

    New 2.2 (still will be a 2.4) piston/cylinder combo to get you into the 9.5 range.

    This is the route I took in my ‘71 searching for more fun... and torque. I had a 2.7 crank and rods so that helped the decision. I went with Biral cylinders bored to 85mm and new 9.5 pistons, which I think are more like 9:1 in use and E cams. Result is a more revvy engine with gobs of torque, but not a high rpm screamer since I kept the small port heads.

    I bought a 79 3.0SC engine. Quick and cheap... And then started tuning it. Its now a 3.2SS running 46 PMOs

    Regarding the point about S calipers. Are they actually any better, or just lighter?
