Poly magazine build

I like poly engines. Compare a stock 318 poly to a LA 318 I’ll take the poly.

but looking at the numbers it just doesn’t add up.

4.2” stroke
12:1 compression
And it only has 551 horsepower and 563 torque
Look at all the custom machining and pieces in that engine.

you’re still better off with a big block.

Best bet is just to put the 4" crank in it. It's a bolt in swap.
