Bore and stroke are close enough I'd say, FWIW the Workshop Manual gives
them as 80.26 and 89.  1798 is the quoted capacity.  Whilst rebores do
usually go up in 20 thou increments to +60 with standard pistons, or +80
with what are described as 'very expensive' Competitions Dept forged
pistons, *overbores* or big-bores can be up to 1948 (+130) using adapted
Lotus Ford twin cam pistons, +180, or 2100 with the 1950 bore and a stroked
crank.  See
