Yeh.  Locally called '305' presumably for outdoing Ford.  According to both pit crews in '68 at Sebring (Penske and Grant, I believe, it's been a long time) the ford product produced somewhat more power due to the port design of the heads - 'Tunnel Port'.  Donohue produced better lap tim,es though and won the Trans-Am.

Beg to differ but 1967-69 Z28's had 302's I had one still kicking myself these were basically a 327 with a 283 crank and were well under rated in horsepower to make trans am rules at the time.

> Was not the Z28 a sales version of the COPO cars coded Z280 which got you (if your name was Donahue) a trans-am racer?  All discs, 305 CID screamer, bench seats, no insulation, etc.  We flew down to Sebring in '68 and watched (I believe) Donahue beat George Follmer in a Mustang.  The tunnel port car had substantial power on the Chev, and easily went past it on the back straight, but didn't stick nearly as well and lost it back in the crookeds.
