The only thing that bothers me about this mod, it does not address piston cooling. Except for the A65, all other A and C series engines has a oil squirter pathway drilled in the rod cap to squirt oil onto the cylinder wall and bottom of piston. I think it should be a requirement as a part of the change.
On most any other engine increased airflow flow through the cylinders or improved volumetric efficiency calls for more fuel. At some point the existing fuel metering system meets its capacity to maintain the designed air-fuel ratio at full throttle or rated rpm/power. How adding the displacement discussed here or in other STC's escapes that would be worth knowing.

That seems to also be the case when the C-85 is stroked and O-200 pistons and cylinders are installed...188 to 201 cubes. No carb change specified in the STCs.
Mike is spot on for the cylinders. You have to do a lot of looking for good cylinders, they are out there but you have to hunt now days.
No real HP advantage IF you run the 65 by the book. Once a 65 always a 65, but you can now find new cylinders for it.
Should the engine be subject to an over speed condition you would realize the added horsepower, but the operator would reduce the throttle to be with in the 65 operating range and rated horsepower.

Did this modification to an A65 case about 10 years ago. Works fine. The 65 case is a little stronger than the 85 and a bit heavier. You get 190CI but at 2300 still makes about 65HP.
