Well, you sure took the rod length at face value. There are "other" parameters in cup engines that have an affect on the "total" engine package. Just like in F-1. Yes, they are very well designed and tested for the purpose they are built for. If long rods are the answer then why did most of the 358 cu in PST engines (making well over 2.5 HP per cu in N/A) use very , very short rods and BB pins?
