What does 302 mean?
289 is the old engine - predates the 302 (same block iirc), and it's 4.7L
4.6 is a completely different motor, and 30240 is right, it's 281 cid.
The Jeep 4.7L v8 is 287 cid iirc, and the chevy 5.0 is 305.
5.0 is a misnomer on Fords, unless you've gone and bored it out a tad (.030"). Really the 302 should round down to 4.9L, as it's something like 4949cc's.

Not exactly true - '5 dot oh' sounds cooler than '4 dot nine'. On the Explorer window stickers they were advertised as 4.9L V8's.
But the actual displacement was very close to being 5.0-legal rounding, only a couple of cubic centimeters off, like 4948 or 4949 like I said before. But the cutoff for 5.0 is 4950.
