An engine produces peak torque at the rpm where it is most efficient. Efficiency is the result of many factors, including airflow, combustion, and parasitic losses such as friction and windage. Comparing two engines with the same displacement, a long-stroke/small-bore combination is simply less efficient than a short-stroke/big-bore combination on several counts.
Big bores promote better breathing. If you compare cylinder head airflow on a small-bore test fixture and on a large-bore fixture, the bigger bore will almost invariably improve airflow due to less valve shrouding. If the goal is maximum performance, the larger bore diameter allows the installation of larger valves, which further improve power.
A short crankshaft stroke reduces parasitic losses. Ring drag is the major source of internal friction. With a shorter stroke, the pistons don’t travel as far with every revolution. The crankshaft assembly also rotates in a smaller arc so the windage is reduced. In a wet-sump engine, a shorter stroke also cuts down on oil pressure problems caused by windage and oil aeration.
BINGO!

I see that. the 540 has 4.250 stroke and 4.500 bore. The 511 has 4.250 stroke and 4.375 bore. I would think the 540 is a better package with the much larger bore than the 511, but what do I know. I have no personal experience with a 540.
I wouldn't use the victor on the 470. I would use the RPM, because I can get to same goal with less money. RPM heads are about $1600/pr complete and victors are about $1600 bare and take $1100 rockers, so I would say the 470 could be built with less money. Maybe i'm wrong, your in the business, so you should know better than i.

Have you thought about how much longer the crankshaft has power applied to it on a short stroke motor of the same C.I. as a long stroke motor with all the same parts on both motors work
I have whistlinggrin
I assembled and helped dyno test and tune a local drag race motor with a 4.440 bore and a 4.500 long stroke with all good parts,440-1 heads, 440-3X manifold and so on, I won't build one of those motors for myself tsk
My next all out drag race motor will be a 4.500 bore with a 4.375 stroke crankshaft in a high nickel Koleno iron block with a set of B1-MC heads and two carburetors boogie wrench devil

cab, what were the results of the 558? From what I understand 20% of your power force is used up right after TDC firing, so what is better, a short stroke with each cylinder firing closer together or a longer stroke firing further apart with fading energy on the longer down stroke, but with a little more energy at TDC than the short stroke? I don't know, but this stuff is very interesting to me and I would sure like to know. To me , the longer strokes are fine as long as you can get a long rod in there. There are plenty of engine builders building long stroke motors that work and that's fine buy me. I have no issue with it. I still think for me personally, a 470 is a design of my better liking. I said this before, the Japanese build some pretty bad ass inline 4's. I had a couple. The last one was an 08 gsxr750 that I did a little super tune on. It made 140hp to the rear wheel and was almost scary to ride. 48.7mm stroke, not sure what that is in inches, but its very short, under 2". I understand torque moves the object and maybe the name of the game, but there are other things that come into play that pull it down a bit imo. no disrespect here to anyone, just try to learn.

Huh.

And yet the highly successful Ford coyote 5.0 is 3.63 bore with a 3.65 stroke....... while the old school 5.0 is a 4.00 bore and a 3.00 stroke. work

You go for the 470....... I’ll take the 511.
41 extra cubes for zero extra dollars and zero extra effort is a win win in my book.

Good point and those coyotes do run strong. the next motor will be a short stroke big bore motor.

It would surprise the heck out of me. I've seen quite the opposite, everything else being the same.

I am sure this is true on the better breathing heads, but on heavily worked RPM's there was zero difference in flow between a 4.350" and 4.500" bore on my flow bench. I haven't tested any Victors, though.

I still love my Japanese inline fours, built quite a few. You do know that they sold stroker cranks for Gixer's ( and others ) and it made them faster?

Short stroke big bore motors run great!!

The only thing that beats them ( in Torque, HP, and ET ) are long stroke big bore motors.

I had no idea. I was happy with the way they came from the factory other than slip on's and power commanders.

I agree. There's just something about the 511/512 that doesn't do much for me. 470 or even the 528 looks good with 4.150x4.500 bore. Don't get me wrong about my 511 thou, it runs good and i'll get it figured out, just don't think it's the best mechanical design with 6.535 rods.

Yes, they were impressive mildly modified. But you could go stupid fast with silly money.

To be honest, I prefer RB's with a 4.25" or longer stroke (damn rod angles). But I wouldn't kick a 511 low deck to the curb if I had one, they run great.

There was a low deck 526(4.375 x 4.375) here for freshining a couple years ago.
Original Koffels combo, bowl ported B1 heads(384/262@.750)....... made about 830hp.
IIRC, that used 6.700 rods.

Came out of a mud truck.

wow, same rod/stroke ratio as my 511. Looks like it made some real steam. Nice

Same rod ratio as a BBC. They seem to get down the track OK.

Hemi Fred once told me the only purpose the rod length serves is to put the piston where you want it in the bore. This was in reference to that turbo engine he built. He got a bunch of new blower pistons from a TAD friend of his for almost nothing and built the engine around them and I think an old fuel crank and whatever length aluminum rod put the piston where he wanted it. I think he said he had $2500 total tied up in parts and machine work.

that's a very short rod on that stroke too. I thought 4.250 with 6.535 was bad. Doesn't seem to be much of an issue.

My thoughts on increasing the stroke with the same bore makes me think that the longer stroke will suck more air and fuel into the cylinders with the everything else remaining the same work RPM are RPM, the motors knows how much air and fuel are run through it, I don't think it knows about piston speed or rod angles, does it work
My thinking on piston speed and ring drag is the piston travels the same RPM but not as far on the short stroke motors, the motor doesn't know the feet or inches traveled per second work
Hence more power with the longer stroke (within reason)boogie
