Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that your opinion is wrong!

You can talk about rod-to-stroke ratios and other such esoteric, theoretical frippery, (Had to go to the thesaurus to find that word!) but there is still no replacement for displacement. Go for the cubes, dude!



Keep the shiny side up!

I've always wondered if my '75 (L48) would perform better with my 79 cui motorcycle engine in it.

Only 105 lbs of torque but it makes 10 MORE HP than the 350 and you can pick up that little 4 banger and carry it around like a lunch box.
