Thanks for the reply. Sounds like your on the right track 
I think a separate bore/stroke slider would help. My original idea was just to have a slider for the ratio, so you could have oversquare on one end, and Undersquare.. But whatever works for you
Another thing I have noticed in my recent game is the whole transverse engine thing.. To me it would make more sense if all engines were the same, and the transverse placement depended on a transverse gearbox.(Edit: I also noticed that transverse engines are bugged and don't switch length/width... there goes my new car design.)
Also what about adding Vee Angle? I know this would complicate the dimensions calculation in the designer, but it would be pretty awesome. You could even go as far as having a single set of camshafts for both banks of cylinders like on the Lancia V4 engines.(link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_V4_engine )
Just another thing to think about..
Thats all for now, but I'll post any other suggestions I can think of.
