Engine swap help 01 A/C mountain cat 800

I just purchased a used 800 with a big bore (863) kit. I know that my stock carbs, clutching (main and possibly secondary) will need to be tweeked. I think the bore kit is manufactured by CRP. Does anyone have any knowledge of what jetting, clutching changes ect. will need to be done? Riding between 3-6K ft. The 144 track has also been converted to the 16 in wide with anti ratchet drivers.

Also came to realize that I also have to go from a 30mm clutch to a 33mm. Does the larger PTO end indicate what year the mod engine might be?

If it's just an 863, does it use stock cat 900 pistons? If it isn't ported significantly past what the stock 900 was, I'd just go with stock 900 jetting/clutching.

The larger PTO end just means it's not an '01. All 8/900s 2002+ had the 33mm PTO end.
 
That's kind of where I was starting with my guesstimate for the carbs. I don't know about the piston size. Is there a way to check without popping the caps off the top. Don't want to have to deal with head gaskets if I don't need too.
