Todd,
I am interested in this idea as I have heard it is common practice but I have two specific concerns which I have not resolved.
Firstly I understand that 2.0 litre T cranks are cast iron rather than Tenifer treated steel and this worries me that fatigue life may be an issue.
Secondly I don't think that the T has counterweights and whilst this may give some benefit of reduced inertia I would worry about the higher order (4th, 4.5th, 5th) order torsional vibrations that are produced by gas torques also reducing fatigue life.
