Compression Ratio Question? - Page 2

And I don't think GM made a 302... A 305, yes, but not a 302... Unless it was a very limited production run...
 
As for noise... The 4.3 is a very loud V6, possibly because of the still mechanical driven fan...

my question is the motor they built would you be able to do it with a newer 4.3 w/ the same results except fuel injected? 

Chevy did in fact make a 302, in limited supply.  I thought i had a set of 350 pistons and i took them to the machin shop, and found out they are almost a 1/2 to tall , and the guy said there for a 302...puzzled i looked at him like " and im paying you to do work on my engines"!  I said you mean a 305?  He said no a 305 has a different bore, but the same stroke as a 350, the 302 has the 4 in bore found in the 350 but not the stroke.  I've been around cars my entire life and i just found this one out to my dismey.
 

Also i honestly did alot of fast reading, so i may have missied something....but That hot rod articicle may have used that head setup because i am almost certain that you can't run the vortec heads and a carb intake manifold.  You can but it has to be modded slightly.  And it might just be because there are still alot of people out around here even that pull fuel injection and throw a 350 carburated in all the time. 

Dumb as a post and he picked THAT out!. Yes, if you had the Vortec heads they had a different intake bolt angle both the V8 and V6. I don't think they made a CARB intake for the newer heads. You probably could use one on Vortecs if you played with the mounting holes. Maybe. Good catch dumbie.
 
I only say that because you have to be brain dead not to know that back in 1967,68 and 69 they made a "few" 302 Z-28's. But then kids today..........................................

Was all of the name calling truely necessary?  Come on...

So I'm brain dead for not researching a car I've never seen in my life, and never will... Got'cha! lol.
 
 
I think if I was going to do any major mods like that, I'd try and get an aluminum plenum or battleship... Aren't ours made of plastic?

No doubt what did i do for you to hate me so much  2000BlazerSS !?!  Sorry to the rest of you guys for causin problems here. 

Yeah this is the article you are refering to 2000BlazerSS to...   http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/thehistoryof/0605ch_small_block_chevy_history/

But they also put the 302 in newer vehicles. 


Can i also take a pole on what everyone thinks a "KID" is??
Cause to me a kid is at most an 18yr old which means that he was born in 1989.  Not 1969 which is 20yrs earlier...i'm so blown away why 2000BlazerSS is so angry?  

If your near 40 and never heard of a 1967, 68, or 69 Z-28 Camaro your, uh, can't say it, but you are. And Chevy never made a 302 after or before the 67-69. Your thinking of the OTHER 302, built from 1968 to 1993. Hey J_rkle, YOUR the one bragging how smart you are, how many engines you've built, how much you know.
 
PS: double check those pistons, measure the diameter, are they 4 inches?, or 3 and 7/8ths?. An eighth inch smaller.
 
drperry: if you've never seen a 1967,68 or 69 Z-28 Camaro you'll have to keep your eyes closed for the rest of your life when you read Chevy magazines. They made 600 Z-28's in 1967, 1st year, 8000 in 68 and 23,000 in 1969 (don't hold me to those being EXACT, but those numbers are close enough).
 
swartz: mr knowitall never heard of a 67-69 Z-28?. drperry never saw one and never will?. Chevy built OTHER 302's?. And you wonder why I call him names?. OK. I won't

By seen, I don't particularly mean "oooo look, there's one!" I meant more of actually getting my hands on one, driving one, or planning on owning one. Am I going to go nuts and research a car I'll only ever see in a magazine or driving down the street? NO. There's no practical point to it. Same reason I didn't come to this board until I got a Blazer, lol. I don't religously browse car magazine racks, and I live in oil patch country, I've been in this city for 10 years, and I've seen ONE Camaro that's older than 1980.
 
And I know quite a few people who couldn't tell a 68 Camaro from a 68 Mustang... Why? Because their tastes don't cover muscle cars. But of course, that must mean they're total and utter.... non-intelligent people, by your standards, as it sounds.
 

Fact of the matter is that berating other members (ie. calling names) is against our forum rules and I shouldn't have to remind everyone of these rules, but here it is.  I have taken the liberty to highlight a few key words/phrases:

Someone may know a lot more on a particular topic, but if that person comes across as a pompous, self-proclaimed know-it-all (even if said person is very knowledgable), that person will not be as respected for their knowledge as they would be if their delivery were different.

Anyway, we have gone way off topic.  Please discuss the topic at hand if further discussion is necessary.  Thank you.
