I don't know a whole lot about these trucks. Is 227 hp alot for that motor?

Yes, indeed. A stock 302 is rated at 205 hp at the flywheel. 227 rwhp (to the wheels) is actually alot better figure. And if you listened the guy actually managed to tune 267rwhp out of it, not to mention he said it's california smog legal (including visual) and it has the bone stock intake. ;)

I've heard that these older engines are rated at RWHP while the newer ones are rated at the crank.

I'm almost positive that's not the case, but don't quote me. I don't think any of the big three have ever used rwhp.. always at the flywheel. Makes it seem higher (sells better).

Lol, that'd be real sad if it was only up 22 hp with a cam/heads etc.
