I think that it was other way around.. in 70 (71?) and later, what they were
calling 396s were actually 402s. 402 = .030"-over 396, I believe.
Before '70, GM had a restriction of no more than 400ci in a mid-size.

I had read somewhere that the 396's ('66 - '69) actually measure out to be
a 402, but were called 396 to just come under some criteria at that time.
Anyone else able to support this?
