Quite a difference:

1956–62: 948 cc A-series inline-four, 37 hp (28 kW) at 4,750 rpm and 50 lb·ft (68 N·m) at 2,500 rpm
1962–72: 1,098 cc A-series inline-four, 48 hp (36 kW) at 5,100 rpm and 60 lb·ft (81 N·m) at 2,500 rpm

But like you say, the 948cc is smoother and more rev-happy, whereas the 1098cc is a long-stroke torque-meister that doesn't like to rev beyond about 5,000 rpm.
Thanks Chipper. Must try it,just for the experience.
