Re: Why no L35 in 1970?

WAIT !

Maybe this is the rationale:

Since the 396 was bored +.030 ( actually a 402 ) in 1970,
the HP rating would have been boosted and perhaps that is
why the L/35 disappeared. Still to this day, I wonder why
they made the 402.

It almost seems like a manufacturing
mistake that got away from them. Does anyone know for sure
why the 402 came into existence?
