I still keep an older copy of HOTROD mag.89'+-.It featured a little strip showdown between factory built crate engines from chevy,Dodge,and ford.The chevy 350 got the advantage of being put in a 68' camaro w/4spd,the ford 351 was put in a light 78' mustang w/auto and added ballist where they wanted,and the Dodge 360 was put in the heaviest car ,a early 70's duster.Each car ran the same geared rearend and tire size and had a specialist from each makes top mechanics to tweek the engines.In the end the 360's et's beat both the chevy and ford.It was concluded that the stroke of the 360,providing more torque,was the determining factor.Just imagine if it had been in a dart! So is a longer stroke with more torque an advantage?Plus you stay brand loyal and already have the bugs worked out!
