Stroking theory question

Also too, to "me" an under square motor is not as efficient as an over square one........

I don't know........I'm not saying that I'm a huge fan of under square motors...they can and do get the job done...........people seem to like the 4 inch crank into the 318, I haven't read, or heard of people crying they are no good

Sonny Leonard doesn't seem to be hindered by his 5 inch stroke mountain motors that are waaaay under square, with a 3000 hour life span between freshing's for his "street" motors, and make 1300HP NA

The most recent "Engine Masters" winner, Jon Kaase, took a mod motor ford out to 4.5 stroke I think it was, made crazy HP

Both the 170 and 225 /6 are under square; I never heard any any commentary that they were inefficient...

Like I said, under square engines can and do get the job done, they are as efficient as any thing else.
