If I make a salad that has more meat and cheese in it than vegetables is it still considered a salad?

My post was completely accurate. No, I've never driven any car with a 427 side oiler. I'd have to google to check if they made many if any. I wasn't born yet and I know more about GM muscle cars anyway. The main thing about cars is knowing what you don't know and admitting it. Those that don't sound like fools.

You remind me of all the guys selling Oldsmobiles back on the 90s when I used to look at any for sale.

IT HAS A BIG BLOCK 350....

uh oh, apparently you don;t know as much as you claim. There was a big block 350 made by GM and yes, the 1968 did come with a 427 engine as I owned one. Made my 1967 Mustang with a 390 seem slow.

There is no real thing such as a big block 350. If you are referring to a Pontiac there is a little room for debate but that is just semantics as they all share the same external dimensions. An Oldsmobile as I am referring to is not in any way a Big Block. Same architecture as a 400-425-455 but smaller. It's a bigass engine that's for sure.



If you are referring to modern engines nobody even uses the term. As I said earlier, when people speak of things they don't know they sound like fools.

Ha!

348 was big block
350 was small block
Go figure.

302 would kick ass on all of them.

The 454 has a 4.25" bore and a 4.00" stroke. The 350 is 4.00" by 3.48". There is such a thing as a 350 big block, but it is NOT a Chevy. Pontiac, Olds and Buick each made a 350 and all three are considered big blocks (same blocks as their respective 400 and 455 engines).

I use to love me some Z28's with my "small block" Mercury Cougar. They were shocked how quick it was until one night a guy I knew that kept bragging about his car so I popped the hood and he proclaims that he knew it, "that's a 351 in your Cougar", lol.

Nope. Wrong as usual. The Oldsmobile 350 is a different block than a 425 or 455. Google it, seriously.

The Pontiac shares the same dimensions for the block itself but it is common to call a 350 a small block. You can call a 350 Pontiac a big block but most people will think you're an idiot.

Try bolting any factory 350 olds intake on a 455 and see what happens. If you don't have spacers it isn't happening.

Again, google it if you care about being accurate. Somehow I gather that you don't.

Well I will not pretend a great recall here, but my memory is that the 348 was the first big block GM, which became the 409.
The 350 was just a bored out 327 which was just a bored out 283. The 400 was the biggest they went on that block and it was a pig.
Very easy to burn a hole through the piston top on a long pull. The big block 348/409 became the 454, another pig. Timing chain too long and wore quickly, leaving it a real dog.
The 302 was a stroked down 327 with solid lifters and titanium push rods. I got one to test at Weiler Chev , 450 hp from the factory.
Sort of fun to play with but the shits to drive about town for real. Too damn stiff on the clutch and way too high of torque band. Had to keep that puppy wound up over 5k or stall it. You could work that dude up to about 950 hp at near 12k rpm , but then you needed a tanker truck in support.

My uncle was alway trying to get me to buy one his wound up 302s for a boat. He thought it would be cool. I was sure I could not haul enough gas to get the sucker out of sight.

yes, as I recall those Olds and Buick, Pontiac engines were a different line that the Chevys. 455 Olds and 460 buick were about the same thing I think. Way bigger block than the Chevy 350 blocks. Hey GMC had a hell of a big block 350 in a v6. Ha! come to think of it, I had a 50x ci V6 in my Wheat truck. 1970 model.

Olds 350 has a wide intake manifold. Doesn't make it a big block..a 455 is about an inch and a half wider if memory serves

Chevy had two vastly different engines which seems to help confuse people. Don't even start on 396 vs 400

Hell I don't know anymore than I already dumped which maybe all wrong anyway. sort of lost any interest in that stuff when the price of gasoline went over a buck.

Yeah now there is the big block vs the small. I think that 396 was the 348 bored not quite as much as the 409.
Never had one but those that did like it. Too damn big to be practical today but in a truck, but...

apparently Edelbrock uses the same intake manifold for their 326-455 engine. Who da thunk it. Crazy stuff.

Different engine series. Those were W engines. You were alive when they made those. I wish I had some of those cars though.

I'm talking with a car guru who knows, ask him. He probably won't read your posts the same way he apparently is unwilling to read mine.
