Ok, we're not arguing just discussing.
I believe you stepped in it with this thought.
I think its just that folks have been conditioned to think that way.
Are you saying that a 351 has less potential than a 350?
Or a 289 has less than a 283.
I think 327s were damn good engines, and I think that's where the ideas came from that Chevys make better hp cheaper. Because there are tons of them out there. And in the beginning they may have hit it with a modern engine before Ford (arguably).
But once the mid '60s rolled around it was up and down for both.
