Do you already have a complete running 3.4 and trans sitting around? Not to be a forum troll naysayer, but I feel like that would be the only real reason to do the swap other than "because I can". You're going to put a fair amount of time and effort into any swap, so why not start with something that's a bit less of a boat anchor?
