get some 59cc heads, 230s duration cam, vic jr intake, headers, carb style tb, and tune. you'd be well over 500 hp.

piston slap can't helped unless you replace the pistons with ones that have longer skirts.

i wouldn't. simply because milling a head from 72cc down to 59cc seems like an invitation for problems.
