^^ This! Would love to see it head to head with a std 197/200 on track. If you don't mind me asking roughly what would you say the costs were on the conversion?
And maybe I'm being stupid here, but a lot of people keep mentioning reliability, surely if it were a standard 225 engine and you don't open it up (the block that is) what's to worry about?

Costs are not that bad, I'm doing a write up... its mainly labour
the engine is just as per meg with remap

I was unaware of rod bolt failure issue, can you give me a bit more info??
The rod bolts will be under most stress when on the exhaust stroke in tension, so unless the rev limit is increased I can't see this being an issue. On power stroke the rod will be loaded, with the bolts not seing any additional load.
But I would be quite interested in this..

there has been a few meg enines on a stage two that at first people thought they were throwing a rod out of the block, but infact its actually the rod bolt under so much stress it just gives and throws its self out of the block and the rest then follows
Mine will hopefully be completed in the next week or so, and I have Le Mans track day and a Ring trip booked. I will be making lots of vids!!
What sort of power is a stage 2??
