All things being equal, I agree with you. The above example I quoted with the 427's was with me iterating to find the cam specs that worked with various heads on both engines to find the most power and torque that each one would produce. And like you said, nearly equally sized engines with nearly identical bores and strokes, make similar power and torque, they just do it at very different RPMs. Or at least they appear to on paper.
