I did one for my drag car in the mid ninety's after reading this story.
Although I left the studs in their original location, and just re-drilled the heads to suit.
This worked well, and I could swap my heas back an forth from my 1775 to the WBX 2393,(92 borex90 stroke).
I also shuffle pinned and added a deep sump,
but unless you have access to a mill,
the cost will be way more than the latest autolinea bubble top deals.
Any machine shop can mow off the water jackets though.
Getting the old head studs out can be a chore.

Man, testing out the ancient archives there!!
Sorry about the poor quaity old shool scanned pictures.
Here are the heads slotted out.
It is not much, and the washers covered the holes
so no leaks from the rocker area.
