That's right. You can put a 3.25" stroke crank with stock 4.000 bore and get a 327 cu. in.
3.25 x 2^2 x Pi x 8 = 326.725636 or 327 cu. in. The nice thing about boring to say .030" over is that you get a 'brand new hole' with a nice cross-hatch that promotes good sealing of the rings. Plus, you're probably going to be putting a new set of lightweight aluminum pistons in anyways. The only real 'drawback' would be that your thinning the clyinder walls. But, .030" is more than safe on a stock 302 block. E
