# cylinders vs displacement

Then I would assume that you understand that an increase in port size relative to bore size could, and most likely would, create a situation similar to the 351C heads, where the bore size was so large significant amounts of power were lost.

 

If I understand correctly, given intake and cylinder head designs are matched with the engine the larger bore less cylinder engine will breath better thereby making more power. Right? I'm not saying large bore like 4.5". I know some auto makers run v10 and v12 engines that produce great horsepower like Ferrari and Lamborgini, but I always thought they did that for the smoothness of the engine? Who wants a $300,000 car with 500 HP and a lopey idle.
