FAQ
Why "350 Chevy" if its 5.7L? +
350 cubic inches = 5.74 liters. Just a different unit. 327, 350, 396, 454 — all CID. Modern engines usually named in liters.
Bore vs stroke ratio? +
Oversquare (bore > stroke) revs higher, makes peak HP at higher RPM. Undersquare (stroke > bore) builds torque low. Most modern engines are slightly oversquare.
