Default Stroke vs Bore for a Given Displacement?

Hi,

I have a question regarding stroke vs bore for a given displacement. I
think that having a larger bore and shorter stroke will create larger
low end torque vs a smaller bore and longer stroke. The reason I think
is this is that the larger bore will have a bigger explosion/hammer so
torque is bigger. But this engine will not be as fast as the smaller
bore since its reciprocating mass is much bigger and hence can't rev as
high. Can't find much on the net about this or increasing the # of
cylinders for a given displacement.

TIA,
Dan
