gears and strokers

Assuming similar horsepower numbers from different displacements, could gears make the motors perform equally?
CID TQ HP ratio
302 395 340 5.00:1 600 Holley
352W 447 334 4.30:1 650 Holley
383W 480 326 3.89:1 700 Holley
408W 507 326 3.70:1 750 Holley

All motors are nearly identical with the exception of one being a 302. All motors use the same ported 1.94"/1.6" valve heads. All motors have 8.88:1 static compression ratios. All motors run at 13 + 7/1,000. unitl 3,500. rpm. All motors have the same 260 duration cam. All motors use a standardized dual-plane intake.

In theory, on paper, of course.

If I were to carry this experiment out in real life what sort of results might I get. Lets say a 1985 F-150 super-cab short bed two-wheel drive with 35" tires. The transmission is an AOD with lock-up converter, kevlar clutches and bands, a tough valve-body, 2" OD band, the works and stall speed specific to the motor.
