the only difference is the modified journals, 302s had the mid size (what is standard to a 350) main journals. the first 302s were in fact built based on a SJ 327 block with a 283 crank, when everything went to the MJ in '68 the 302s followed suit. IIRC names like Smokey Yunick and the likes were running 302ci small blocks well before they came out in '67

which would be the MJ 302 and MJ 327 for 69.

which confirms that they were in fact, 327 blocks, with 283 cranks.
