For some reason that I can't recall, I was comparing the two dominant engines from the Muscle car years and thought it was interesting how closely matched they were.
Chrysler 426 Hemi (1964-1971)
Bore 4.25"
Stroke 3.75"
The street version in purely stock form, equipped with a pair of four-barrel Carter AFB carburetors, produced 433.5 hp and 472 lb⋅ft of torque in actual dynamometer testing.
Chevrolet 427 (1966-1970)
Bore 4.25"
Stroke 3.76"
The street L71 "Tri-Power" version fitted with 3x2-barrel Holley carburetors, was rated at 435 bhp at 5800 rpm and 460 lb⋅ft at 4000 rpm.
Comments anyone ?

Ford 429 Cobra Jet
Bore 4.362"
Stroke 3.59"
The Super Cobra Jet, rated at 375 bhp at 5200 rpm and 450 lb⋅ft at 3400 rpm of torque, had a single Holley 735 cu ft/min 4-barrel carburetor, but actually produced power in the 440– to 460 hp range.
