I would be suprised that they would go with a shorter rod. You can only go so short before you will have issues with too steep of a rod angle. I would still like to see it. I would be if the same block and bore is used, there is a thicker head gasket that goes with it. The stroke to go from 2.4 to 2.76 would have to be increase quite a bit with only a 76mm bore. I did the math, and to get 2.76 Liters you would need a 100mm stroke which would come out to 2757cc or 2.76. 14mm increase in stroke is HUGE! Thats over a half inch! Still sounds iffy to me.
