How many liters is 383 stroker

Of course it would be more like 1. So why choose a in the first place? Because the extra cubes are all by stroke, not by bore. Although a might be making the same 1 HP per cubic inch rule as the , it will inherently make more torque per cubic inch simply because of the physics of increased cubic inches via stroke rather than bore size. Stroke means "leverage" and leverage gets vehicles moving, especially at lower RPM's.

So even though you might not get true "big block power" out of a , you will certainly feel the added stroke in the seat of your pants compared to an identically prepped because the will make much more torque.

Now, if you really want big block power in a small block package, a , or even a monster small block stroker will do the trick, but as with any serious stroker of this caliber, you are also talking about a hefty price tag to build one compared to just doing a mild rebuild on a typical big block, or for opting to turn your existing into a stroker.

For the best deals on your performance parts and accessories with the best service, choose where I order all of my components from Torque the oil pump bolt to 65 foot-pounds and the oil pan to 12 foot-pounds. Torque the timing Cover to 6 foot-pounds and the intake manifold to 30 foot-pounds.

Torque the exhaust manifold bolts to 25 foot-pounds. Torque the flywheel bolts and the harmonic damper bolt to 60 foot-pounds. The stroker varies in horsepower but seems to always produce a significant amount of torque. The GM HT Base Performance engine has foot-pounds of torque at 4, rpm and boasts more than foot-pounds of torque starting at 2, rpm.

Other stroker engines have been reported achieving horsepower with foot-pounds of torque, horsepower with foot-pounds of torque and horsepower with foot-pounds of torque. Jennifer Reed began writing in She specializes in technical, automotive and motorcycle information. It must be over 7 liters. Even the is probably over 6 liters. So what is a 6. What is a ? Is the biggest mass produced V-8? Originally Posted by duster I'll agree with this.

Having worked in the parts business in the s and s I know from experience what a pain it could be trying to figure out if a customer had a Chevy or a Buick in his mid-'80s GM vehicle since both were marketed as a 3. Actually the best way to compare engine outputs between brands would be to discard the use of displacement numbers to describe engines altogether and use horsepower and torque numbers instead.

No it wouldn't, because you'd have no base for comparison. Example, my Jeep GC has a 4. My Cayenne S has a 4. Clearly, the Cayenne is a more powerful, yet smaller engine. But if you didn't use the liter size as your basis of comparison, the hp and torque figures don't tell you anything.
