the 2.1 stroker kit from eip tuning is nice~ i have personally driven
one. it is very expensive however (2-3 times the cost of your newly
aquired 2liter [3.5k for the kit])

i wouldn't bore the block out any since you want torque (longer
stroke).  it does not impact engine life significantly.
my $.02 worth
