One thing leads to another... mean 318?
AND now you have discovered what I have been saying all along!
TOLD YA SO!
How do you come away with I told you so with that video :)
The 302 vs 327 vs 350 practically follow what I’ve been saying 100 % similar Top end is gonna make very similar power and bottom end, overall displacement, bore and stroke and rod ratios will decide where that power will be made “rpm” and it will be proportional to displacement.
if You find my previous statements a mumble jumble mess, this what I’ve being trying to say.
Add, with geared right they all should have similar performance.
Now the 4.8l vs 5.3l it doesn’t follow what I’ve been saying exactly, same top end wiith a difference of 17 hp (0.05 hp per cid) and engine masters did Mopar 410 vs 367 and there was a 8.5 hp (0.02 hp per cid). And engine masters did 383 Chev vs 383 Mopar both made similar peak torque and hp but the shorter stroke Mopar made way more under 4000 rpm torque, I know that’s not an apples to apples comparison but does fly in conventional wisdom of a longer stroke making more down low torque.
I’d argue other things come into play here and these Hp gains are small. But even if it is just cause of added stroke, The finial conclusion would have to be from these is, Adding stroke “displacement “ only sometimes adds hp and when it does not much. Not I told you so lol.
