Most nearly "square bore", meaning short stroke nearly same as bore diameter. Revs higher. I had one in a carry all and loved the way it ran.
I think most guys get scared of the noise the chassis makes at freeway speed. Body mounts settle until the body touches frame, and any drive train vibration gets amplified by the sheet metal. Plus out of phase u-joints, transfer case angle, shifter linkage rattles. Fix all that, add some sound deadener to the cab panels, and you can carry on a converstaion at 55 mph.
