The 268R Rotating Assembly is made for the Tillotson R-Series Blocks bored to 76mm.

The 268cc kit is made of a 76mm hypereutectic piston(same material as the 72mm Tillotson Racing Piston), EC's Pinnacle Forged Connecting Rod, and 59mm Wildcat Ductile Iron Crankshaft. 

In the world of automotive and motorcycle engine engineering, 250cc is a common denominator for performance engines. The bore and stroke are very common among single-cylinder, 2-cylinder, three-cylinder, and 4-cycle motorcycles. The increased bore sizes not only add more displacement but also increase compression and vacuum, allowing larger valves, ports, and camshafts with fewer adverse side effects, I.e., low-speed torque and responsiveness. 

Whether in karting, motorcycle, or automotive performance, making 1hp per cubic inch is a respectable engine, 1.5hp per ci is often expert level, and 2hp ci is exceptional by few elite builders. All dynos are different and may reflect higher power per ci; however, you can divide your current power level by your displacement and then multiply by 16.33, which is the ci of the 268R kit for estimated theoretical power output. 

For comparison, we should look at the differences in displacement among other small block engines. 

212         70mm x 55mm = 211.67cc (12.92ci)  difference 55.98cc(3.41ci) 26.5%

223/224  70mm x 58mm = 223.21cc(13.62ci)   difference 44.44cc(2.71ci) 20%

225         72mm x 55mm = 223.93cc(13.67ci)   difference 43.72cc(2.66ci) 19.5%

228         72mm x 56mm = 228cc.    (13.91ci)   difference 39.65cc(2.42ci) 17.5%

236         72mm x 58mm = 236.15cc(14.41ci)   difference 31.50cc(1.92ci) 13.5%

254         76mm x 56mm = 254.04cc(15.5ci)     difference 13.61cc(0.83ci)   5.5%

263         76mm x 58mm = 263.12cc(16.05ci)   difference 4.53cc(.28ci) 1.5%

268         76mm x 59mm = 267.65cc(16.33ci)  

The 76mm piston is very lightweight, which can help with the "balance" of the rotating assembly, improved acceleration, and increased durability. The piston journal's improved strength is that it is wider than the Tillotson 72mm piston and uses a longer 13mm wrist pin.

We measure the weight of common stock piston assemblies (piston, rings, wrist pin, and clips) and a couple of market pistons of similar sizes to see how they compare to the 76mm piston assembly, which weighs 195g.

68mm Clone Dish Piston(Lightweight)  - 207g 

70mm Predator Hemi Flat Top Piston   - 203g

72mm Tillotson Racing Piston               - 172g

2.8335 Wiseco Single Ring Piston        - 192g

2.985 Wiseco Single Ring Piston          - 208g

The New 76mm piston is 8mm larger than the 68mm piston and 6mm more than the typical flat top 212/223/224 piston that comes in the 196cc clone, but the 76mm assembly weighs 10-12g less. The 2.8335 Wiseco is 4mm smaller and only weighs 3g less, and the nearly equal-sized 2.985 piston weighs 13g more. 

You will also gain inc compression, which can impact what fuel you run or possibly the camshaft and cylinder head you choose.

The best feature is the price. Compared to billet assemblies that cost nearly 2.5 times as much, the 263R rotating assembly is only $275, which may not be much more than a bored Tillotson Block.
