So there is a minimum size restriction. That would now make sense to me, cause my Math is telling me the 302 would likely be faster than the 351 under a restictor. Still, I think Dodge is running a 360 are they not? I think the most you can evenly bore a 351 and get it to come out in displacement is .040, which makes a 358cid or something. I'm pretty sure Dodge is running their 5.8L.

I don't really follow NASCAR much anymore, I think it's kind of a joke. Still, the idea of a 302 cleaning up 351's sparked an interest.

Thanks for the info 88GT5.013.02!
