Is building a stroked 318 better than a stroked 340/360?

All other factors being equal, the 318 based engine will make the least torque, followed by the 360 based engine, followed by the 340 based engine.

But run what you brung.

And make sure to run long rods with custom pistons and/or custom offset crank because if you're not doing that you're leaving "free" power on the table.

And yet and still, YOU personally chose to go to a longer stroke. Not much really, just .210 more stroke. You did that because it affected the character of the engine.

And not just a little bit or you wouldn’t have done it. Can’t you see the hypocrisy in your arguement?

You can buy a 6.250 rod pretty easy. I think I already posted the math on what that does to R/S ratio.

So it does matter. Even to you. Yet you argue and argue and argue it doesn’t matter. You want proof but you already posted proof it does matter.
