The Toyota 7M-GTE is undersquare — the 3.5827" stroke exceeds the 3.2677" bore by 8.8% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.5827" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,700 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 30.1 ci (492 cc).
