I went thru Flint engine plant in 1969, a high point of my teenage years, they were putting the 302's together there, would fire the engines up on propane to check oil pressure and such

when they tested a 307 they let them idle a while and gradually increased the rpms and checked everything out

when they put a 302 on the stand, they immediately cracked the throttle wide open and the roar shook the building, those engines weren't gonna last any 150k miles

my memory is a bit fuzzy but I think they told us that Z-28 302 was 327 block with 283 crank, big piston plus short stroke to get the revs up
