Re: c notch strength
C-notching the frame weakens the frame unless you maintain the original height of the frame above the notched area.The overall strength is in the height of the frame rail.
Boxing the inside of the rail or plating the outside will help restore some strength but it will not return it to what it was originally rated. Good reading here....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
