Right now I am planning on a stock bore and stroke (cheapest). But might go to 450cc in the future.
I am looking for mid- to top-end power for MX racing.

For stock displacement and low /mid range max torque I would widen(oval) the ports and not cut the floor of the port much. For a high rpm max power/large displacement engine then we dump the d porting to get least resistance. Just be careful on exhaust ports as it is very thin between the two runners where the water jackets is. Plug off the the 4 slits in the head and fill with water through the water pump hole to check for leaks when done.

Intake is very rough. It's 46mm at the top, and the runners are also made larger, also much larger around the seat and transfer very smoothly into the seat.
Also got the TB bored to match, lines up perfectly when hoseclamps are tight, on the picture there are no hoseclamps so it looks like it does not line up perfectly.
Stock injectors can be used with some O-rings as spacers.
Exhaust ports still have the D-shape.
