Since the 350s that make 165 hp and those that make 330 hp have
different stroke to bore ratios and different valvetrains, the
reply does not address the question. It's a bit harder to find
two engines with the same displacement, # of cylinders, the same
stroke/bore ratio _and_ the same valvetrain actuation (pushrods
or overhead cams), that have significantly different power
output.
Argh. . . I feel the tractor beam. . . I'm being sucked into a
silly argument!
