squared engine

[ZCx]

what are the +'s of a squared engine, same bore & stroke???

have heard of it bein a plus over the years.

ours is so close, 4.03x3.96, was wonderin if it has helped with the performance.

Better balance and usually no or very little vibration. I would guess longevity may be better:dontknow:

Complex subject.

Longer stroke is often thought to produce more torque. But even cam choice has a larger impact; as does head port volume.

I guess you could argue that a square engine uses the best of both setups.
