Anyone else running a Olds Rocket?

[iluvmy72]

the 68 and 69 were the first 350's Olds built.....and they were very different than the last blocks......these blocks had a higher nickel content in the blocks casting......the blocks were made special for the olds hotrods.......in 74, GM wanted to decrease the total cost of engine parts so they started to make the parts interchange to where Pontiac and Buick could use their heads, cranks, and cams in the newer Olds blocks....and Olds quit making the blocks and Buick then made the blocks fro all three lines.....the cranks and cams from a 79 wouldn't even fit in my Olds 69(we tried).....and then there are the differences in the oiling.....you really can't compare th older blocks to the later blocks....they were completly different engines in terms of make and quality.
