Any suggestions on how that would look?

You could remove some of the leaves & swap in an AOL kit to regain the original capacity. Swap the drop spindles in & trim a bit off the stock springs (if you like the current ride).

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.
