Default lets talk cubic inches

lets talk about cubic inches and the amount of gains you see in power

lets put two motors together one a 364 and a 408 both have same setups but difference is 44 cubic inches now i know roughly thats a gain of 40 hp if i relate to the mustang sene. now what do you think honestly an dhow much more torque

i know thta one combo would be effiecent well other would be tamed but just wanting and idea on what to figure in on things

I'm going to submit the the bigger motor will simply make the same hp at lower rpm and about 12% more peak torque.

The bigger engine will often need a bigger cam, but really, setting these up identically won't prove much because the bigger engine can also use more fuel and air generally. It wouldn't be a huge advantage with identical parts, but the bigger engine would possibly last much longer too. Using the same cam would likely give the smaller engine a huge advantage in usable rpm.

will it be possible to make power at 7 grand? i guess it all depends on what you end up doing with the motor... its possible to turn it that high with the right rods/rod bolts, but question is, if it's making power up there
