anyone that uses utube for car videos. may have seen Vice Grip Garage. It very is well done. and Derek is a better mechanic than I will ever be but he just won't listen to me on the bore and stroke of a 1952 288.He insists its got a 2 1/2 bore. He even deleted my post. And blocked me from posting. It's simple math a 2 1/2 inch bore 288 block would be 147.26 Ci not 288.63 Check it out its worth a view

Math is simple, but the guy is too obstinant to check the figures he's using. Bore is 3-1/2 diameter.

Sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost.

Yes, I love jay lenos garage. He would know that the bore and stroke of a 288 is 3.5 x 3.75(288.63) and not 2.5 x 3.75 (146.26) as Derek states in his video. Makes me wonder how a mechanic as good as him could make such a fundamental mistake. Stubborn and obstinate I guess

most of these type of auto shows are entertainment rather than technical. I wind up talking to myself catching errors on brands I know about. I call them CARtoons for the above reasons

I am beginning to see that as well. I just hate to see people misinformed on our great cars
