3.1 or 3.4 crank.
Then 3.1 pistons (bored to whatever you bore too).
Thats why everyone just says, get a 3.4. Its already bored and stroked.

Does any one know the lonegest stroke the 2.8 - 3.4L can use. A custom crank might be a worthy mod. If I remember correctly the 3.1 and 3.4 had the same stroke but a larger bore.
You can get more TRQ by useing a longer stroke vs. going with a larger bore. You should be able to make more power from a 3.4 built with a longer stroke and the bore of a 2.8 or 3.1.
Maybe a 3.4 crank with shorter rods would be chearper way to go. maybe even get more than a 3.4, but I am not sure how to calculate displacment.
