What varies across the family

Both bore and stroke vary across the family, so these are separate castings rather than variations on one block.

Compression spans 7.742:1 to 11.5:1, so fuel requirements differ meaningfully between members — worth checking before assuming parts interchange.

The family mixes oversquare and undersquare designs, so members behave quite differently despite sharing a name.

Each engine page carries rod ratio, mean piston speed, bore/stroke character and cylinder head specs where published, and links into the calculators with its dimensions already filled in.
