Lets build a CHEAP(!!!!!!!) bracket motor!
Not necessarily. While there is no replacement for displacement it is also how the displacement is done. An otherwise equally built up 340 vs 360 will produce very similar results with the 360 peaking early in the rpm range and then falling off vs the 340 which will leak at a higher rpm and hold onto the power longer.
You play the different power curves differently with gearing in the trans, rear and tire size.
One day I’d like to win lotto and build 3 - 360 engines.
1 - regular 360
2 - A 340 race block since it could handle the overbore needed to make a 360 with the stock 340 stroke.
3 - a 340 block and the crank below. A 3.45 stroke for the 355 cube race engine.
Why? Just to show how lier is effected by stroke at the same displacement.
OK, I hate to say this but I’m still god danm posting hell so for the 4 attempt to post a GR reply,,,, the F’in short GD version....
