Now looking at the 300 HP 327 combination @ 340 CUIN. Bigger bore, more compression, 1.940 intake valve, more cross section in the intake port.
It makes sense to me this engine should be able to make 1.292 HP per inch if not more. 1.292 X 340 = 439.2 HP. NHRA 365 HP 327 makes 470 HP.

Sounds good..if you compare it to the best 283 that ever was.
327 /365 has too much difference to base a comparison off of .

I don't know how far under you want to go , Jim, but I'm standing by my observation, using my formula that has been pretty accurate over the years.
