Default Re: Why the overbore from 396 to 402

I've heard stories about the 71 Heavy Chevy Chevelles, and that depending on what transmission you ordered along with the 400 engine, you would either get a 402 big block or a 400 small block, and both were called "400" on the order sheet... I don't know if that's fact or fiction, but wouldn't it be a bummer if you and your buddy both ordered 400s and he got a big block and you got a small block?
