Not Ranked
Todd;
I'll take a stab at it,but by no means an expert or engineer,just my opinions.....
A. should rev up faster,simily because it has a shorter stroke than B. Should also be able to rev to a higher rpm than B. Should make better horsepower but probably less torque than B. Piston do not have to travel as far per rpm... example 427 engines
B. Would make a good "truck" enigne as the smaller bore and longer stroke would/should generate more low end torque,because of the longer stroke it would probably not rev at as fast a trate as A. example 428 engines
The only difference between A. and B. if they are built with similar or comparable parts and the heads flow the same would be the rate at with they attain their rpms and where the power falls in the rpm range....A should make power at a higher rpm range than B,but B. should make more torque at lower rpms....
C. I do not know squat about V-12s or any 12 cylinder engine for that matter,we will leave that to the Ferrari and Jaguar people that have dealt with these engines.....
David (just my opinion)
