My guess is they used the stroker kit they have to increase it to a 4.2L. And then bored the engine .30 over i believe or something like that. Because when you bore a 302 .30 over during a rebuild it takes displacment to a 306.

They use that and the F150 crank (v6 97-04 F150's) to increase the displacement up.
