Did both engines have the same parts, specs and build quality? if not the point can quickly become mute.
It would be simple to build a stout 327 screamer, to walk all over a mild 350. Even in a heavier truck. I could build one on dyno sim and without to much trouble get upwards of 450 hp
and make more peak torque than the mild 350.(the trade-off is that you will
have to spin the smaller motor at a higher rpm) But this is not even a apples to apples comparison...it is not a secret at all that smaller cube motors
can go faster than bigger cube motors ....its all in the parts combo, build quality and money.
But all of this confuses the point that if two
similar engines of different displacement spec out the same, or close to ...the larger motor
will make more torque
and horsepower,
and with enough traction will push a quicker et....you simply can't get away from the cube advantage when all else is equal. It's just physics.
