I think you also need to be careful that the rods
attached to the 302 crank in the 289 block don't whack
the bottom of the cylinders where they decend into the
bottom end.
More stroke equals wider horizontal position.

Re: Now, he does NOT say a 302 can't be used in
a 289, but deck clearances
and deck
height are different after the '72 302, which is block
related, and not
all due to
the change in rod length AFTER the '72 302. But he
does caution that
the sum of
the crank throw, rod length, piston compression
height, and deck
clearance must
not exceed the block's deck height
Do You Yahoo!?
