... Consider this;
>The factory 318s had about 135 psi of CCP on a good day. That translates to a possible 1621 pounds of force to the rod. By the time that gets to the flywheel it might be 224 ftlbs with the crank at 90* to the rod.
>And the lowly 360, might pump 145psi, and so the force translates to 1822 pounds and to the flywheel; wait for it, 272 ftlbs ............... which, you guessed it is about 21% stronger than the 318.
>The factory 10.5 340 pumped about 175 psi,which maths to 2243 pounds of force, and to the flywheel might be 310 ftlbs.
All these are math numbers only...
