Re: Rocket 350 vs. regular 350 - Whats the difference?

I know for a fact ive pulled oldsmobile motors out of buick bodies, i just figured if buick used olds, then olds might have used buick engines. Both companies shared a lot of platforms, but was more likely to do this in the 80's than in the 70's.

Everybody says its a rocket, if its a 350 olds block of certain year, than it is a rocket, no matter of what heads and other emissions stuff might be bolted to it. Its just a label for an olds motor, its not a mystery or legend. Maybe the weak ones were just too embarassing to put a rocket label on, but they offered a *real* rocket for those who cared.
