That book is completely wrong. For one, the 282 is shorter than the 288 by almost 2", which means that the head, manifolds, cam, crank, block, and oil pan, won't interchange with the 1948 288.

Inspired off of the 282, yeah, I'll go along with that. The 282 becoming the 288 with just a simple bore and stroke rework? I don't think so.

That's like saying the 396 Chevy big block is a reworked 409 Chevy big block, ain't happening.
