Entirely different blocks between a Cleveland and Windsor.Lot of torque. We never called it a Windsor. It was always a Cleveland.

Pretty much the only similarity was being able to hold the same amount of water.Entirely different blocks between a Cleveland and Windsor.

Well, they did, only it wasn't made public until 1962. The 55 version would have been a 283. or 265. All small block Chevy's."It's a trick question...... Chevy didn't make a 327 in 1955"
And the Z28s (the 302) were 327s with 283 cranks in them. Great motor.Well, they did, only it wasn't made public until 1962. The 55 version would have been a 283. or 265. All small block Chevy's.
What was the HP rating for the 302?And the Z28s (the 302) were 327s with 283 cranks in them. Great motor.
The 302 chevy was rated at 290 - quite low. One year engine, I believe. The Boss 302 in 69 and 70 was underrated at 290 as well.What was the HP rating for the 302?
327 was, 365 ish...?

My first car was my dad's handed down Chrysler Cordoba with a 400 in it. You could hear the gas gauge moving when I pushed the pedal, unless parts fell off at the same time.I didn't have a car with any of those engines. But, I did have '74 Cutlass with a Rocket 350. It was pretty sweet , but I was too young and ignorant to appreciate it. Growing up the family had a Plymouth Fury III with a 383. You could hear it coming, sounded like an airplane taking off.
A totally different level of Crysler ineptitude with those 70s vehicles though. My 'Doba had like 40k miles and **** just fell off, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, power steering, carb parts, all can disappear while running down the road.Had an ‘89 LeBaron for a time. Second owner, and had some miles on it, but man that car made feel alive.
