Rod/stroke ratio have a minor impact but mostly effect WHERE the peak torque comes in the rpm range. Overall displacement and compression ratio have the biggest effect on what the total amount of peak torque is. So, . . the same displacement engine with the same compression ratio will have pretty much the same peak torque regardless of the size/design of the block. What will be different is WHERE in the rpm range, the peak torque comes in and the ability to build revs fast.
