in order to get the full power out of this conversion, but it seems like

I have prepared an article which touches on this which I believe will be
appearing soon.
To be brief, there are a few other differences which you have missed. BUT the
major problem is engine cooling. There have been cases of folks fitting the
LDS to a deuce, and the major problem with doing that and operating it at the
rated HP is that the deuce radiator doesn't have enough capacity to cool the
engine properly, which leads to catastrophic failure.
Hope this helps,
David
