What varies across the family

Every engine here shares a 2.874" bore; displacement varies by stroke alone, which is the signature of a family built on one block with different cranks.

All are undersquare — stroke larger than bore, favouring torque low in the range.

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.
