there are kist to make a 2.3 a 2.5 motor. but really thee is no need, unless you are building to class rules, as you can make around 500hp with a 2.3 with the right settup.

They can be stroked to 2.7L overall, but you'll have to be ready to shell out some serious cash. A 2.5L stroker kit, however, is actually somewhat affordable. Check with Racer Walsh ( www.racerwalsh.com ) I think he still carries them, along with all of the other good parts for 2.3s

3Ls from a 2.3 requires a SVO tall deck block I believe. Not certain.

That's what I was thinking too, I should've said 2.7L from a non-turbo block, lol.
