Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[Claus Vegener]

I saw a 220 Hp Mustang at app. 1650 kg = 7.5 kg/Hp
An 1250 kg Ur-Q @ 160 Hp = 7.8 kg / Hp
Not a big difference.
The reason for a block to bored to 308 ci may not be for performance
but just part of a rebuild.
I have a Chevy BB 502 cu bored + .010 giving 508 due to a rebuild.
