You cannot just put a 220 cylinder on it, although I am not sure why you would even want to. The 89-94 KDX200 E series engine arguably has the best power delivery. The main issue with them is parts availability. Some e-series specific engine bits are discontinued and no longer available.

Put a wiseco piston in the 90' engine, give it good gas and clean air and it will run forever before needing another top end. The e series arguably delivers the mostnpower of the other models, a larger displacement wont necessarily give you more horses. The 220 motor does have more low end torque, but you cant justnput the 220 cyl on the 90' bottom.
