So what size would be required? i.e. what size is the original motor poly-v pulley?

Wait until a certain SS engineer gets wind of this conversation! :D
IIRC the motor pulley is 80 mm.

It's a good idea to be unsure of any math I do. Yeah, it's a ratio thing that will change the top end more, these are belts and pulleys not gears.
ETA: Not even sure what I meant about gears, time to stop digging.
