Wait, I'll get a dictionary. Volumetric Efficiency: as applies to internal combustion engines: the ration of horse power or torque to the displacement of the combustion engine. Let's see? the volumetric efficiency or 1.5:1 for a 302 would equal 451 horse power. Volumetric efficiency of 1.2:1 for a 428 = 514. When weight is factored in, 451/275lbs= 1.64. 514/475= 1.09

1.09 x 514= 561 451 x 1.64= 740.

It appears that you are correct.
