I LOVE the fact that american engines are getting better performance. 1 CID for every 1 HP. We havent seen this in a LONG time. The 1995 350 chevys were rated at 190 horses (1 CID : .54 HP) whereas my 97 CID honda motor from 1988 was (1 CID : 1.23 HP).

Props to mopar.

its easy to get more HP/volume from a small engine than from a large engine...

the >1 bore/stroke ratio makes it look like they could use pretty much that same engine for a sports car...
