It is marketing mainly. If the numbers do not come to a whole, either engineering and/or marketing may fudge the number. Take the 427 for example. It is actually at 425 but it didn't sound good compared to the GM 427 or MOPAR 426.

I think PLY had a 360CI in that time period so that would explain it.
