Maybe try with a cam calculator.

OK. Yes, that made the difference. I understand now.

We have traveled off topic for quite a while, so, to get us back on track I will note that some of the original magazine articles, specifically Sports Car Graphic, August 1962, Sports Car Specials, 1964, and perhaps others reference a "300 cubic inch" engine option for 289 cars. This seems like the 302 engine, though it was several years before Ford released the 302. I have never heard of any street cars that had this as an option. Was there any truth to that?

I doubt it ever happened.

Many typos exist, and surprise, many reporters IQ test would have gotten them placed as a sewer worker in the USSR.

I think its quite possible guys were using bigger engines back then. They might not be advertising it and never got caught so they were not cheating. If you look in the old catalogs you can find lots of stroker cranks back in the 60's. Also here is a link to a post in another thread here on club cobra on an engine from the early to mid 60's. Also there is a member on here that lives north of Chicago that has a leaf spring cobra that has an engine that sounds just about like the one decribed in the post that This goes to.
