If you made it yes it would fail. If i made it yes it would succeed, you have giving up before you started. It can be done, if you can machine the block down it can be done, and would in fact be half way done at that point, buy shorter connecting rods, Boom, its damn near done.
Is it something i want to do ? no.

There's no drama; cutting rods and cranks in that manner is simply a bad idea that will almost certainly lead to disaster.
And what the hell is this: "If you made it yes it would fail. If i made it yes it would succeed"- it doesn't matter who makes it, it's gonna break.
That's all I was referring to before; the rods and crank. Though destroking is eminently doable (NOT the way as has been described already) there's probably a dozen other good reasons why it's not the best solution here.
I got the impression OP was talking about a real, live project; not a sky-high "what if". So throwing out a bunch of uninformed speculation really doesn't fit in that well there (but by all means, throw just about anything out there if it is clearly labelled as such).
