The only difference in these motors is the cam and the L31-R is half the price. The L31-R is a 3/4 ton motor and has the torque to move your truck. If you really have to have the extra HP just do a cam swap but I think you will be surprised at the power of the L31-R with a 4 barrel carb and good exhaust.
