prove me wrong. if you think you get the same hosrepower from a 4.32" x 3.75" vs 4.18" x 4.00" bore and stroke 440 cid engine your sadly mistaken my friend.



you are comparing apples to oranges.. make it apples to apples and you are on! no replacement for displacement.

but really, this isnt about which block is better as both had their place in history. it is nothing about stroking one or the other, its about whether or not a 413 block is special, and well.. the answer is no. it is NO WHERE near as special as any other wedge block. they ALL can be strok'd, piston'd, head'd, or cam'd to perform.

so really you are beating a dead horse trying to get others to believe what you want to believe, which is.. well.. i have no idea what it is.
