OK, so kit-wise there is nothing (that you have heard of), but what about motor wise? Any B14 motors? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr6VBg1SiYI

Hand-drilled B4's make nice 'pseudo' B14's.
One cannot turn any existing BP SU C6 engines into C5's or anything similar to a C5. The C5 requires a nozzle of the larger diameter/shape of the B4/B8/B14 series engines. Drilling a small core in the propellant of a C6 results in nothing but a cato....of M-80 proportion if drilled deep enough.

We know that there will never be another B14 BP motor produced, certified, and sold. That's why Fred, then I brought it up.

Yeah, the nozzle dimensions would have to be altered in addition to proper core dimensions. Drilling or turning the clay would weaken it, so you'd still likely end up with a cato. The clay would be weakened like what you see in sand casting. The sand mold seems pretty solid, but once you remove some of the material, the rest more or less falls apart. Just conjecture. I'd never try to alter a motor.
