The best stroker 408-416-426-435 combination in stock 68 340 block

What’s the point?

Ummmm, more torque equals more HP?
Or did I miss that?

You rambled on about how the stroker is so woefully inefficient that it is pointless to build one.

YR, both have the same cam and compression carb and intake & headers.
The test is not meaningless. It shows how everything else is the same except one has a 3.58 vs the 4.0 stroke.

There showed you what a stroker does as far as power output. There not doing rocker science dyno work. Just basic comparison work.

My point is if the 408 had enough cam to make power at the same RPM the 360 had the wrong cam. I wouldn't do the same valve job for a 360 as I would a 408 either. Nor would I shape the port the same.

My point is if each engine was built specifically for its displacement, R/S ratio and cam timing the 360 and 408 would produce the same power. The curve for the 360 would be higher, thus you can run a lower gear and the 360 would out run it, all else being equal.

If we are going to talk about gearing for the street that's a totally different deal.
