[89IROC&RS]

302 was in the camaros alone from 1967 to 1969. It was a 350 block and a 283 crank, for a 4in bore and 3in stroke making 302cid. This was due to the size limit in SCCA trans am racing at the time of 305cid. it was rated at around 290hp, but really made more like 350hp, and in race form, made over 450hp. the thing wound up to 8k and pulled like a hemi in the top end according to magazine testing of the time. however it was not a good street engine, with a solid lifter cam, 12.5:1 compression, and large valves, it was slightly aneimic in the bottom end where most people drove it on the road. it was kinda the S2000 of its day, you really had to wind it up to make it come alive. but the 1967-1969 Z28s were basicly just street legal race cars.
