There is a comapny that sells a couple of kits. One makes your 2.8 a 3.1 adn the other makes it a 3.4. If you bore the cylinders 30 over you make your 2.8 a 2.9 because you increased the cylinder deminsions. Does that help at all..

I've seen this kit (caint remember the site)
but it is a bored & stroked short block kit. Also caint rememberf the price, but a used 3.4 should be a lot cheaper., but then it it is a used motor.

The point of a stroker kit is to get more displacement from the motor. You get this by moving the piston up and down more then it usually does. IE 4.3inches UP/Down Movement instead of 3.8 inches
