The strokes are 78mm and 90mm respectively. So if you change the crankshaft, the pistons will go 6mm higher in the cylinders. If you're using many parts of the B234, you might as well use a complete engine. Seems simpler to chip the B202 for more power. Just my penny's worth, I wouldn't dream of doing radical engine surgery myself.
