Default The 302 engines - digging way back in my brain cells

I remember the first Camaro Z28 in 1969 was a 302, and that was the limit
for (I think) Trans Am racing. Many other 302s followed including the
new Boss
302 Mustang.
Then there's the 5.0 badge that's been on Mustangs for many years.
The question for today is:
Since 5 liters = 305 cu. in., is the 5.0 Mustang a 302 or a 305?

Only a ..... would ask this
:-)

Ford has always used 5.0L for the 302 v8, they used 4.9L for the 300
6 cyl

Dick, the previous 5.0 was actually a 4.9. The current 5.0 is a true
5.0 with 302 cubes.

I beleive they are just monikers, not necessarily accurate counts.

I guess they could have called it a 4.95L, but that seems kind of
stupid.

Dick, the previous 5.0 was actually a 4.9. The current 5.0 is a true
5.0 with 302 cubes.

Patrick

305.117 = 5.0 L, using 2.54 centimetres or (1 centimetre ? 0.3937
international inches.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch and doing the math.
The 302 is 4.949L to about three decimal places. I used 2.54 but
2.5400050800101600203200406400813 is more precise. The real answer is
using the bore and stroke figures with and cid = pi * (bore/2)^2 * stroke
using inches.
