Yes the "B" series engine internals are much smaller...if your going for max power, the crank journals and rods are much bigger on the "F" series"

The DOHC head wont go on the F2 block, but you can fit an F2 crank into the FE DOHC making it the same capacity as the F2...I am working on one of these for my GC
