Well here's my take on it, It's still an LS series bike so therefore it should be consider one. Lets take a look at it from an automotive vantage. Lets say the Ford Mustang It comes with 3 different engines depending on what you order, the V6, 4.6L V8 or the Special editions with special badges the 5.4L V8 engines, Yet they are all still Ford Mustangs.

No they aren't, last real Mustang left the line in 1969...

I'll give you that one as I do agree with that.

I suppect the 400 might be the better motor ! Sometimes at low speeds in the upper gears that big piston is ruff on the crankshaft . I doin't abuse those situations but a "softer" push might keep a feller from downshifting sometime. Kinda like "completing a low speed turn in third gear " , might make a person ( 650cc ) downshift on down to second.

It would be soooo much simpler to not split the engine, But according to another member boring it out to 96 will produce the following.
The 650 is 94mm x 94mm = 652cc
The 400 is 87mm x 67mm = 398cc
Bore the 400 would make it:
94mm x 67mm = 465cc
96mm x 67mm = 485cc
400 top and a 650's crank would be
87mm x 94mm = 559cc
If I am going to spend money on maxing out for more power, Starting with a higher and stronger compression makes sense.

Paul, I'm correct you a Savage 400 cylinder size 88mm and stroke 65,8mm and the working volume of the engine=396 cm3
and I think the thickness of the walls of the cylinder sleeve insufficient to bore up to 96 mm

Yeah, it's not bigtwin, but it is the best half of it
