I started this whole long thread with just a simple question, what is the difference between a 289 and a 302? And for all the resplies that have been added to this thread, i've gotten very little feedback for my question. so far all i've been told is that the difference is 13 cubes and the stroke length of 2.87'' and 3.00''. Is that the only difference? What are the benefits of stroking an engine? Please try to stick to the point when answering. thank you all, i've had fun reading your responses.
