I would just buy an aftermarket unit to simplify running the exhaust.

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.

Go with a aftermarket one. Def better as far as running exhaust goes anyway plus you have more potions as far as where you want to mount it, angle and all that jazz. PM'd you with some info.
