Think about the original Camaro Z28 engine 4" bore and 3" stroke. So way over square.
"Aside from its heritage, what really made the 302 cubic-inch engine special was how unique it was. The engine was given an oversquare design, created by the 4.00-inch bore and 3.00-inch stroke. The large bore coupled with the short stroke allowed the engine to rev well into the 7,000 rpm range" My note: Actually the 327 block with the 283 crank installed.
1967 - 1969 with 4 Barrel Carb 302 Z28
Max Brake Horsepower: 290 @ 5800 rpm (Actual horsepower was reported to be somewhere in the 360 to 400 range)
Max Torque: 290 @ 4200 rpm
I had had a 1967 SS350 Camaro and it was 4" x 3.48".
'67 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS-350
Basic price $2572
Engine 350-cid V-8
Horsepower @ rpm (gross) 295 @ 4800
Torque, lb-ft @ rpm (gross) 380 @ 3200
The Z28 was a much faster car!!!
