Default Why the overbore from 396 to 402

Can anyone explain GMís decision to overbore the 396 032 in 1970 to make
it a 402? And did they use the same casting or did they thicken/widen the cylinder
walls to compensate for the larger bore? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Thanks
Mark
