3.1 to 3.4 is it worth it?

Don't just swap for the extra displacement- it's also a stronger block with additional webbing, comes with dis from the factory making swapping in a 3x00 top end easier, can use the 3500 top end and has a better bore/stroke ratio.

3.4 is a good choice. It opens up a lot of options in the furture easier than a 3.1/2.8 does.

I'm hoping to get a DIS coversion fabbed soon and then all the 2.8/3.1's can go with FWD heads with a lot less effort
