[T3] building a bigger mousetrap (engine case questions)


I have a Brazilian AS 21 case that I'm sending out to
be drilled and tapped for full flow. There looks to be
some clearance work done inside the case for a stroker
crank, but how can I tell if the crank that came out
of it is larger than stock? It is counterweighted, but
has a VW stamp mark on it. Would it have to be 69mm?
I'm also not sure if it needs to be align-bored... it
looks to be in good shape, but does it have to be
looked at by RIMCO?
Also, if anyone is running a Gene Berg full flow kit,
do you have to use a stock oil pump to clear the fan
housing, or can you go larger? 
This mystery motor came out of my old sleeper, stock
63 bug which hauled ass, but I don't know any history
on it. It has 92mm pistons, ??mm crank, and an Engle
100 cam with stock looking German heads. A good, mild
but fast motor. I would prefer 90.5 pistons for
cooling reasons, but the budget comes into play. I
can't wait to get some motivation into my squareback,
but I want to do it right.
Any help is appreciated - this is my first complete,
case splitting rebuild.
-Phil
