The 2.3 blocks use an open deck design, where as the 2.0 is closed and favored for higher hp applications. I did a big turbo 2.3 and spit a rod out the side so I did a bunch of research to try to make more power reliably.The block casting on the 2.3 EB is reinforced in certain areas. I came across a comparison awhile back. Otherwise, yes, generally a stroked out 2.0 EB.
I would love to see an ST or RS option but probably won't happen
