Stihl Husky Bar compatibility

[don]

Read a post her saying you can conert a Stihl saw to run Husky bars.

How do you do it? Do any parts need to be ordered?

Should the holes on an existing bar be drilled for more oil flow?
Does the holes on a bar restrict oil flow by acting as an orifice?

There are adapters to fit Stihl bars to Husky, but on the other way around I can only see that you would have to mill the slot out. I have done many that way using carbide end mills.
