How does cid make power?

You answered my question greatly thank you, but I think I left out part of my question that’s the most important. Most of the time when people are building an engine, it usually needs bored do to normal wear. Or sometimes it needs bored for the stroke. So if we’re boring the engine and changing the stroke on a small block, I’ll just stick to small blocks because they have the same deck hight. Does it matter what you start with? I think is the real question this thread is about.

Overall, unless your racing for the money, “Heads up Racing.” I don’t see an issue with using any of the 3 small blocks. IF you yourself want the maximum return on the build, then use the largest bore possible.

That’s what I’d tell you or anybody if they were going this route.

All the small blocks are reasonably suited within reason of making some really good power all within a reasonably close amount. Since they all have a 4 inch stroke, I he bore size becomes the limiting factor in power production. We will just have the same equipment on top and within as the leveling factors to keep things even.
