[DMVR] Bore vs. Stroke

Oddball question.

All other things being equal, will there be an effect on Torque and/or HP if
2 engines of same displacement achieve this displacement by different
combinations of Bore & Stroke?  I'm going to assume increase/decrease in
piston weight would be offset by an equal decrease/increase in rod weight.
I'll not worry about max rpm due to different rod angles, etc.  But if two
engines of same displacement via different bores & strokes were both run at
equal RPM, would there be a difference in HP and/or Torque?

Just wondering just because.

Thanks
