'67 DREAMIN'

Thanks Jerry - In the "old days" we used to build 301 strokers by using a 283 crank in a 327 block. What a screaming little engine that was! In fact, that's what Chevy put in the early Z-28's but I think they got the idea from DIY rodders.

Or visa-versa. The Z-28 was created to compete in a class that limited the cubic inches to 305, IIRC. (not using Google)
Hence the 302. The backyard hotrodders could not compete with the R&D departments of the major automakers.
