Patrick, if there was a displacement rule and a cylinder head rule, then you could opt for a shorter stroke. Sometimes we favor an oversquare situation because the larger bore will take advantage of the cylinder head/valve size.

AL, you have to be completely blind (or just have too much pride to admit it) to ignore the fact that there are 5.5" stroke engines that run at 9000 rpm.

Again, you can NOT use generalizations when speaking of engines.
