383 magnum versus 383 big block

The 318/390 torque was at 3500. The 383 was at 3000. The torque and horsepower was almost identical at 2000 rpm where you start accelerating on the street wit the 318/390 having 3 lb/ft more.

Interesting, I might have thought it the other way around, with the long stroke engine having the lower torque peak.
