I don't dispute that it is the bore/stroke ratio, what I am saying is that design limitations dictate that large displacement I6's be understroke engines. The Supra example is a small displacement engine and is not relevent to this thread.

If it was not relevant for you then you can go pound sand because I don't care since it was my point. After all, I can say the design limitations is irrelevant since we are talking about engines in general.
Gee, I guess I misread the topic title. Here I thought it was about a 6.7 Cummins making 900 lbft. My bad.
