Interesting.  They were marketed locally as '305' which may of been to put them a bit up on Ford's 302 inch engine of the day.  If I did the math right, a 4 inch bore with a three inch stroke will give 301.68 C.I. in 8 cylinders, using 3.1415 for pi.
4pi=12.57 sq" time 3=37.71 CI per cylinder times 8 = 301.68 CI total.

> 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?


From  http://www.holisticpage.com/camaro/camaros/302.htm

"In 1967, Chevrolet was busy promoting their new pony car, the Camaro, and part of the promotional efforts included racing the Camaro in the SCCA Trans-Am series. In order to make the Camaro competitive, Chevrolet introduced the Z/28 option package which included among other things, a special 302 cubic inch small block. The engine size was a result of the SCCA's 305 cubic inch displacement limit in the Trans-Am series at the time. The 302 turned out to be one of Chevrolet's finest small block offerings, and the engine stood in stark contrast to the ever increasing size of the big blocks used in the muscle cars of the day."
