I’m not sure what the bore tip diameter would need to be. There is one thing you might be able to do to make them more “modern”. As stated before, think of the 4-iron as a 5, 5 as a 6, 6 as a 7, etc. Here’s a thought, if you’re set on making Eye 2s “modern lofted”. Even better was having a 7/8 iron spin back while their PW hopped off the green. They were so used to their modern clubs with modern lofts that it didn't compute to them that I could be hitting such a "long club" for the shot length. I always thought it was funny when someone would ask me what I hit on a shot when I was gaming my older blades, and I would tell them and they would just look at me funny. I'd recommend looking at something newer, or accepting that you are just going to be 1-3 clubs shorter than others in your group. The funny thing about that is, is that there are only 2 degrees of loft separating them, which should equate to 5-8 yards of distance change, but the tech on modern clubs is so good that they blow old stuff out of the water when it comes to distance, even considering loft. Between the 2 sets of clubs that I game most regularly, there is about a 20-25 yard distance gap from 7 iron to 7 iron. Now I don't worry about it, and let people have their distance and feel proud about how far they hit their (x) iron. When I first came on this forum, I had a real bone to pick with manufacturers for strengthening lofts so much. modern lofts is, don't worry about what is on the bottom of the club in relation to how far you hit it.
As Bill said, the bounce is a big concern as well, because every degree you strengthen them, you lose a degree of bounce, so clubs that were designed to have 4 degrees of bounce, all of a sudden have -2 if you bend them that strong.talk about a leading edge. Unfortunately, you would have another 3/4 degrees to go until you got to "modern" lofts. You might break a couple of them trying to take them even 3 degrees strong. Eye 2s were already weak for their time, and trying to bring them even to "traditional" lofts would be an exercise in futility considering they are cast. As out, there are plenty of reasons to stay away from doing it.
