Hey all, I'm trying to find HP specs on a 71 rocket 350 from an olds cutl*** and a Rocket 454 from a 66 Olds Delta 88 but can't find anything!?!? Any info appreciated. Thanks
71 olds 350 was 240 hp with 2bbl carb, 260 w 4bbl 66 olds 425 was 310 to 375 hp, the 454 is a chevy engine
probably because the 454 from the Delta is either a 425 or a 455 (probably the 425- which is a killer motor) the rocket 350 is just that- an olds 350. Check out 442.com. they got specs.
Oldsmobile did make a 454" motor....It never was installed on production cars,just a counter parts block. I thad the cam bore raised to acommodate the additional crankstroke. It has a Rocket emblem cast on each side of the block and was capable of .125 overbores....Originally sold new for 2700.00 And -PLUS- it was a small block too!
as a fwiw post, i built a 425 some years back for a 75 gutl*** i had, it made good low end but wouldnt go much past 4500 and with 10.5 cr had lots of spark knock troubles on anything but 93 and up gas
Sqrl u kill me! Somehow that is exactly how I thought your office would be like, not that I think of you often or anything...
I believe during the '90s they introduced that block,primarily a racing effort,it was actually an Olds labeled block with Chevy SB dimensions externally.... Frankly, I never saw one in anything. Do not know if still available.... I suppose they were in pro stocks/dragracing.....
