I am thinking on a new engine I know where a .30 over 2.6 is but I am fighting the urge to go with a 4.3 for a little more power is it worth trying or just build the 2.6

1987 Dodge Ram 50
2.6 5 speed
2 inch body lift 31x11.50 Swamper LTBs
4.62 gears lsd rear and welded front with lockouts
Weber carb waiting to be installed
