Quote: A 413 absolutely wil not no way no how make more low end tq than a 440 that is identicle except bore size, no way none whatsoever and anyone who thinks it will has no understanding of what makes an engine work.
Quite. Which means you have no understanding of volumetric efficiency. Tell you what, why don't you run a 4.18 x 4.00 340 based 'Small/Big Block against your 440, same technology, and let me know the outcome. If you win, more power to your argument. If the small block wins you'd better figure a way to make that 440 more effcient to run a 413 on modern technology.
