Here you go, Piston area and force.

Well I think I found the answer even though a larger piston has more piston area 4.03" vs 4.25", area =19.8671"sq vs 20.9517"sq.

A larger cylinder bore has less surface area for a give displacement, 408 LA (4.03" x 4") vs 408 B (4.25" x 3.596") 50.6168"sq vs 47.9886"sq


408 LA. 4.03" x 4.00", (2 x 19.8671) + 50.6168 = 90.351"sq total square inch of surface area.
408 B 4.25" x 3.596", (2 x 20.9517) + 47.9886 = 89.892"sq total square inch of surface area.

Practically the same. So should be no reason the 408 B can't have same cylinder pressure as 408 la they basically have the same total surface just the larger bore has more surface area on the part that actually moves (piston).
Cylinder surface area does not have a lot of effect on force on the connecting rod. It is well accepted that part of rotary engines poor fuel economy is the large surface area exposed to the combustion. So apparently the small bore, long stroke engine may suffer poor combustion and power extraction efficiency in addition to higher friction.
