Right! The chat was that Chevrolet was impressed with the hot rodder's performance version of the 283, which was punched .125 to the bore of a 327, and resulted in 301 inches.
They needed about a 300 inch motor for trans Am racing, but didn't want to copy the rodders, so for the 302 they fudged a couple thousandths on the bore and the stroke to make it a different number.
The 307 was the opposite...a 327 stroke and a 283 bore.Last edited by HOTRODPAINT; 05-22-2010 at 02:58 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
