Chevrolet 267ci specs: 267 ci (4.4L) 8-cylinder, 3.50 x 3.484 in (88.9 x 88.5 mm) bore and stroke, 9.3:1 compression. Rated 120 hp, 1980.

The Chevrolet 267ci is close to square: 3.5" bore against 3.484" stroke, within 0.5%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.484" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,900 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. A rod ratio of 1.636 is in the range most production engines fall in. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 33.4 ci (547 cc).

9.3:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.

It is one of 2 engines in the Chevrolet 267ci family, all of them 267 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement.
