The overbore won't have any effect on horsepower, and depending on the brand of pistons the compression height may be lowered so the static compression ratio doesn't even change. What makes and engine sound robust as you say is compression ratio and camshaft. So maybe the head was milled, and maybe someone stuck a D cam in there, or more. Made the original engine into a P1800 engine.
