the rocket 350 was one of the best gm engines out there,I had a 70 cutlass with a rocket 350 (258,0792) miles on it when I pulled past an iroc z camaro,I must say this rocket v8 rocks,I dont know why in the hell gm pulled the plug on olds when it was so wonderful.
And yet again this is a great idea racing on a bridge .. dumb ass's . Lose a tire or snap an axel and youer off the side and dead .. Im betting none of these cars have C-clip elminators just wait till someone breaks and axel
@Pharaohsmn If it's an Olds rear-end, it doesn't need C clip eliminators. The factory had a better setup. But you are right, a bridge wouldn't be my choice for a street race.
@My4428U But we all know that when your bottle is empty, you are done while everyone else keeps on racing! The true proving ground is a drag strip where there is no traction issues. Thats where I prefer to race.
@samllblockboy it actually meant different things for different years, Olds changed or revised the meaning atleast twice. One meaning it had the big block 455, 4 spd, and duals
@Catalina65389 , put the same quality parts in the big block ...and drop that 455 rocket (or 350 rocket) in a car with the same weight as those small block cars yer talking about , and the small blocks will get fucking smoked. 442's (after 1970) were heavy as fuck , can't expect them to beat lighter cars with comparable parts lol.
My opinion doesn't really matter, but I like the 1969 Olds 442 body style better than any other year. I don't particularly like the 69 Chevelle nearly as much as the 1970.
two very cool cars...although I love the chevelle, only with a hard top and hot paint.....I'd rather have the Olds convert with the 442-absolutely classic
The 1970 442 with the Hurst Automatic was actually faster 0-60 than the 4 speed manual according the Motor Trend back in 1970. At that time I was one of the few cars where the automatic was actually faster than the manual gearing.
@arachknight1979 I have a small block in my camaro and I don't have any trouble with the big block 442. When he hits his 150 shot, thats different. I will get a chance to run my camaro against the 442 next month at a 1/8 mile track. He said I have to use street tires against him.
@upyersbuddy Awesome. If you get video of it definitely post it. I'd love to see it no matter who wins or loses. Now on your Camaro there is power to weight to consider. My comment was based on the size weight similarity between the Chevelle and 442.
@arachknight1979 I respectfully disagree a stock 455 vs a 383 id say 383 by a bit... RPM can be a bitch in some big blocks.. But the 468 im guessing is a stroker also? If im correct then that's all the difference.
@emzarino gutless wonder hahahaha o my god kid what the hell drugs do you do? gimme some of them world altering hallucinagins. fuck i wish i was as stupid as you man. then kids with big mouths spewin stupid shit wouldnt bother me so damn much
@emzarino IF THIS FUCK REALLY HAD ANY HAIR ON HIS NUTS HE WOULD COME TO THE RACE AND SAY THESE THINGS IN PERSON. BUT HE WONT CAUSE HES JUST A BIG FAT OLD FLOPPY PUSSY LIKE HIS BITCH MOTHER.
442 stands for 4 on the floor 4 barrel carbuertion and 2 exhaust pipes. however it was possible to get the 3 speed turbo hydramatic. which for those of us who don't know our gm trannys is a 3 speed automatic
this is so awesome. I never see old cars like this race. Their always either driving 45 mph or on the back of a trailer. Although I did get a 70 something Chevelle to punch it a little on the highway.

Small VS Big, (69 convert 383 Stroker) - (70 Olds 468) In Street it All depends on set up for traction/ Big Power No traction Worthless.......
As you can see 68 Camero Convert W/406 Didn't do the job, even when he put on slicks....
