Pumper carb question

Ok, I've decided to skip the little stuff and go straight to a 331cc kitfrom Kustom Kraft or a 340cc kit from Thumper Racing. I haven't decided on which one yet. What I do know is that I want to run a Mikuni TM36 pumper carb, since I have a drawer full of Mikuni jets and virtually nothing for Keihin carbs. Four Stroke Works used to offer a kit with a pre-jetted carb and all of the necessary work done to the carb, but their site is down (or they went out of business).
Does anybody have any experience with the 36mm Mikuni pumper? I know there was aguy posted herethat prepped TM33 carbs, including the spacers for the front and rear of the carb (Bill Blue is his name, I think). Can he do the same thing to the TM36? I'd ask him myself, but I don't know how to contact him.
If I can't findsomeone to get a Mikuni 36mm pumper carb to fit, do you think a Mikuni 33mm pumper carb (boredto 34mm)would be too restrictive?
What do you guys think?

As for the TM36, there's a very knowledgeable fellow that goes by 'Brewster' over at thumpertalk.com in the 'klx/klr' section. He he has the TM36 on his bike and can steer you in the right direction.
Bill Blue very recently bored-out aTM33 to 35mm and reports a'good hit' at 6500RPM. I'm surehe could figure-out a nice,clean mounting system, in short order, for aTM36if you sent it tohim.

Thanks a bunch Tremor! I really appreciate the info. I'll shoot Bill an e-mail and see what he thinks. I'll also check out thumpertalk.com.
