340 Vs 360

The rpm advantage of stroke, pistons speed for most don't come into play especially if we're talking same crank material.

Really? Crank material has a play in RPM?

That’s a new one on me.

It's head flow a 360 is gonna need more port to turn the same rpm as a 340.

At what level of RPM?

There one thing were leaving out is a 360 is less than 6% bigger, even though torque is tied to displacement in a narrow ish range but range* is huge enough that a 340 could make same even more torque just needs 6% + more in lbs-ft per cid .

So build the smaller engine up more than the bigger engine?

*1:1 to 1.6+:1 lbs-ft:cid

Street range power suggestions?

Just a quick question, was all of the above directed at me?

I ask because the quote is actually someone else’s statement. It got a little messed up when I replied.

A few years ago some (Chevy) guys I know were trying to get a heads up class for street/strip cars. I stopped by one of the guys shop and several others were there discussing probable rules. One of the rules was going to be no “shaft mounted rockers”. I sat and listened a bit, then mentioned that the rocker rule would eliminate all the Mopars because they came from the factory with shaft mounted rockers. The reply I got was “oh well, it sucks to be a Mopar guy”.

Typical asshat comment.
Buicks as well……

The class never got off the ground because the rules eliminated in one way or another pretty everyone but that little clique.

Typical!
