Is a 4.1 or 4.2 litre stroker is going too far ?
A standard 3.6 has a piston speed of 20.16 metres per second at 7,200rpm, 86mm stroke
3.8 litre is 21.6 at 7,200 (is the rpm limit on the 38B38 the same or lower than the B36 ?), 90mm stroke
This particular 4.1L is 23 m/s at 7,200rpm, 96mm stroke.
4.2 litre 23.5 metres per second at 7,200 , 98mm stroke ???
If you took a 4.2L to 8,000 that would be 26.1 metres per second (assuming a race engine build with a higher rpm limit), formula 1 engines are doing about 27m/s. A race 4.2L would have a life of only a few thousand km at those piston speeds ?
A good discussion here
Engine & fuel engineering - maximum piston speed?
