|---|
| Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM | 3,484 ft/min — conservative for a street engine |
|---|
| Rod ratio | 1.636 — moderate — the range most production V8s fall in |
|---|
| Displacement per cylinder | 43.8 ci |
|---|
| Static compression | 12.26:1 — high enough that pump premium or better is normally required |
