The Ford Barn - View Single Post - How Close to (Over)Square In V-8 Bore/Stroke?

The closes I came to having a "Square" engine was a 3 5/8 de-stroked crank and 3 3/8 pistons Sold them before I had a chance to run it. However, the only ay to compare it would be on a dyno run with a similar size engine. The short stroke "MIGHT" rev alittle higher, so the torque curve might shift a little.
