From reading about the 430 Chevy , there were a few comments that it " would rev like a small block" or "rev like a 302".
I think they were taking about the short stroke or de-stroked dimensions , large bore to short stroke dimensions.
To get the SCCA legal 302 cubic inches, Chevrolet used 327 block and 283 crank so a 4.00" bore and a 3.00" stroke which was considered a short stoke for the 4 in bore size
similar to the 430 Chevy, that had a large 4.440 in. bore and 3.47 in. stroke vs the 427 L88 Bore and Stroke 4.251 in. x 3.760 in
