Might as well go with a K-series swap (once they work the bugs out).h:
Okay, enough bench racing.h:

Stroker motors arent for everyone. We believe that stroking the motor should only be done in a HARDCORE street application or a Race Engine Setup. Street cars don't need to stroke the motor and HP increase isnt worth it with respect to reliability and driveability.
Another good way to make power is a bigger bore. I would suggest an 84mm GSR block which will make it about 2.0L I know it isnt 2.26, but what are your goals anyway. If you arent reaching for over 250hp on the street, then a basic big bore block with stock crank is good enough and can make 230 easily. And thats plenty enough for the street. To start making 240+, thats when you are increasing compression, going bigger than 84mm, requires race gas and decreases reliability.
A Stroker motor is easy to think up and design. but what differs it from your basic build up is that it requires a different Crank or modified stock one. Custom rods and also possibly custom pistons. You have to realize that COST will go up significantly for a stroker motor. You have to think if the extra $1000-1500 on top of a basic $2800 sleeved built block is worth it enough so you can complete a stroker motor.

If the old B20 cranks did fit, you know I'd have a shelf full of them by now or you'll hear Actualy people using them.
People talked about it before but the actual journal size is different so it wont work as a drop in crank.
