350
Produced from 1968 through 1980, the
Rocket 350 was entirely different from the famous
Chevrolet 350. It used a 4.057 in (103 mm) bore and Oldsmobile small-block standard 3.385 in (86 mm) stroke for 350 in³ (5.7 L). 1968-1974 350s were painted gold, while 1975-1980 models were metallic blue, at which time the "Rocket" name disappeared from the air cleaner decal. Output ranged from 160 to 320 hp (119 to 238 kW). All Oldsmobile 350 engines had cast-iron crankshafts with harmonic balancers.
The Oldsmobile 350 was also produced with an
electronic port fuel injection system, introduced in the
Cadillac Seville of
1976.
