Stihl 023c Build to 026 Pro

[Brewmaster]

I have built 20+ saws and bought and used 100's but it has been 10-12 years since I have done it. As I recall the frame of any 023 (magnesium chassis) is the same as the 024 and 026 versions. (Been a While) ... so ... Question #1 - I should be able to build out an 026 Pro with the right parts? Yes? Question #2 - Is there a way to eek out 50+ cc in an 026 build? How? (I have to change the whole cylinder and piston and get my decompression valve, so I might as well soup it up.) Question #3 - Converting the stupid "C" version to "what works properly" is it a real pain?

NO!

A 024 has a magnesium lower, but the 023 is a clamshell type lower.
A 024 has a shorter stroke than a 026, but the 024 Super has the same stroke as an 026.
