I started building race engines around 1962.. The favorite sbc for some of the racers in those days was a Chevy 301 cu. in.. Do you have any idea how many ways that engine can be built using ONLY factory Chevy parts?.. (1) bore a 283 block to 4 inches.. (2) put a 283 crank in an early 327 block. (3) use a factory built 302 engine. (4) put that same 302 crank in a 350 block, just to name a few, but there are more.. And to top it off, none of the "factory stamped numbers" mean a damn thing in each of those examples.. Those numbers only tell what the block started out as.
Just for the record, I didn't revive this thread, someone else did that......

Rusty, your original correction post was helpful and I appreciate it.
But Marks reply to you didn't seem to have much aggression. Yes he pointed out you replied to an old post, but basically none of his verbiage came off like he was "setting you strait".
But your reply that I have quoted comes off a bit on the offensive.
Mark never accused you of reviving anything.
Again, you are definitely correct about the spread of misinformation. Thanks for the specifics you gave.
