Sorry, I thought you meant you wanted your 550 to perform like a 750 with an 836 kit. How about stock 750 pistons in your 550?

750 pistons sound good. What else do you have to mod to made them work. Heads, carb etc.

Well I haven't done it myself but wiith the pistons some headwork, extra compression via milling and a light cam would really wake it up. There are some variables like pin height etc but I'm very sure it is basically a "bore in" deal. You'd have to watch out on the cam lift secondary to shallow OEM valve pockets but they(the piostons) can be fly cut. An interseting possibility for sure.
