Default Re: Merc crank in 36LB block

Torque is what the seat of the pants feels. Doesn't make any difference how you get it. Cubes work and so does compression. IF you could get 8.5 CR in a 221 engine you'd feel the differance as well. It'd hard to get much over 7:1 You still have to open the valves
