* Horsepower is a measure of power output: It tells you how much work an engine can do in a given time.
* Cubic inches (or liters) is a measure of engine size: It tells you the volume of the cylinders that hold the air-fuel mixture.
Factors that influence horsepower besides engine size:
* Compression ratio: Higher compression ratios lead to more power.
* Valve design and timing: Efficient intake and exhaust systems improve power.
* Fuel and ignition system: The type of fuel and how it's ignited affect power.
* Turbochargers or superchargers: These forced induction systems increase power.
* Engine tuning and modifications: Adjusting engine parameters can significantly impact horsepower.
Example:
Two 350 cubic inch engines can have very different horsepower outputs depending on these factors.
To determine the horsepower of a 350 cubic inch engine, you need more information, specifically about the engine's specifications and performance.
