This is just a "what if" post. Just wondering if the long stroke would make more low end torque, if the short stroke would rev better, which whould make more power etc. You always here guys make the claim "with that long stroke it will be a torque monster" which is true, but what if you had the same engine (CID wise) but with a shorter stroke and bigger bore? The longer stroke has the mechanical advantage, but with a smaller postion, less force pushing down on it...would it have the same low end grunt or not, etc.
