Naw. I don't think he did. I think the long stroke is what makes a 225. Think of the millions that were put in trucks.....of ALL sizes no less. Stroke makes torque. Period. Regardless of bore. It's just that in most instances, an under square motor is not as efficient, IMO. If they were, you'd see them much more prolific than what they are from a manufacturers standpoint and that's not the case.
