I believe the word you're looking for is "homologation" and was to do with the International Group A Touring Class. The reason for the capacity change was to drop the car down to a different weight/engine displacement class so the old 308ci (5044cc) was destroked by 1mm down to 304ci (4987cc) to take it below 5 litres.vk3800 said:The 304 is actually a 4.9L introduced around the time of the VN so that the commodore still complied with the V8 supercars (can't remember what it was called then) rules. It is commonly refered to as a 5L
