Default I think I'd sell what I had and buy a used 225 in good shape before I went that route.

But to each his own. Sooner or later, though, you have to cut your losses and move on.

Unless your block is cracked, rebuild the one you have with stronger internals.

Default Talk to Ali at Wicked Motorsports. Seems to me that they have the 500 HP motor core upgrade ...

I think he said they trade your core motor for a complete rebuilt motor. It is a Del Rio kit they are developing.
