Engines with lack bottom end power?

RustyRatRod said

It is also completely dependent on WHAT engine you're talking about. Some were not designed for bottom end torque. Some were designed for peak torque in a higher RPM range, like for instance, some 4 cylinders. So trying to "get" bottom end torque from some engines will always be a challenge at best. Anything can be built for "more" bottom end torque, but getting a lot of it from some engines will always be a challenge, since some are simply not designed for such.

Take the 6 318 builds one makes 282hp with xe262h 3 make about 400 hp with cams from xe268h to 280h all 4 make 335tq at 3000 rpm and one makes 425hp with xe275hl 355tq at 3000 rpm and the 477 hp comp solid 247/247 .622/.592 makes 350 tq at 3000 rpm and 335 tq at 2500 rpm over the stock 318 2bbl dyno 282 tq at 3000 rpm and 292 tq at 2500 rpm.

So I think it's safe to say all the modded engines make as much if not more torque under 3000 rpm and definitely makes more at 3000 rpm by 50-70 tq and way more above, the 477hp made 45tq more at 2500 rpm more than stock 318.

Conventional wisdom says bigger cam heads etc.. should be weaker less torque no bottom end especially with a 318 needing deep gears high stall not to fall on there face and not saying these engines don't need gears and stall but it obviously ain't from a lack of low end torque, why is it then some of these engines will fall on there face be a dog down low without gearing and stall. They all make good power down low, better than most stock A body engines.
