Anyone else running a Olds Rocket?

yes the 301's had weak suck parts and flattened the cams in high RPM use.

As far as I (and all the Olds racers) know, the early 350 and the late 350 are different only in tune (camshaft selection, compression ratio, etc.) and the fact that earlier blocks had solid webs. All internal parts should (and do, from my experience) interchange between all years.

Perhaps you are thinking buick? The last of the buick blocks were, if I'm not mistaken, 1979. That's V-8, I'm meaning.

You really should go over there to that forum and check it out if you're running a 350, they can help you out with tune and hotrodding and the like. One of them (350_Racer AKA Nick Jeffries) is running a gas 350 based 380CI motor running 10's naturally aspirated in a 3500 LB cutlass.
