I have the chance to acquire an 2.0L 6 case and have thought about building a small bore 2.0-2.5L high revving 6.
Anyone out there running such a combination right now?

This would be a street/AX motor. Prefer to do single plug.
Most likely use Webers, since MFI parts are getting hard to come by .
What combinations of Pistons/cams are you folks using?

Pictures of motor builds would be appreciated.

Just sliding in a 2.7L CSI motor is also a consideration if the small bore motor becomes too much of a pain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They say the last 800 to get to 8000 will cost you $8000.00
That said, Henry Schmidt, a common sight on the Pelican board and a 911 engine builder for many years with much success says that the 2.5 short stroke is the best engine that Porsche never built.
That's a 66mm 2.0 bottom end with 2.7 90mm pistons & cylinders. You can't really use the 2.7 CIS pistons because the dome shape is designed for the CIS swirl, it gets in the way of the valves if you run a good cam and their compression is too low. You have to use some JE or other A/M pistons to build that engine. It would probably respond really well to twin plugging as well.
