Oldsmobile helped manufacture machine guns for the Nazis

[eewood455]

@sleepytweeker General Motors Opel Division of Germany had the designation of suppying tank parts for Nazi war machine, Which had nothing to do with Oldsmobile

Oldsmobile became one of the Allies' prime sources of artillery and other heavy gunnery, along with the munitions they would rain down on the aggressors. For five years, beginning in 1940, Oldsmobile was America's gunslinger, embracing the slogans "Fire-Power is Our Business!" and "Keep 'em Firing!" as its company zeitgeist.

@Mastahscott You are correct, But that meaning of 442 was from 1965 on, as 1965 was the first year 442 got the 400 ci engine and offered an automatic transmission.

4 Barrel - 4 Speed - Dual Exhaust was the original meaning in 1964

Original meaning was 4 Barrel - 4 Speed - Dual Exhaust ( 1964 )

17VINCE that is a pretty mild cam you have chosen to use, For street/strip use I would suggest a dual plane intake to make use of the low end torque this motor produces, As for exhaust 2 1/2 inch off the header collectors will work just fine and easier to get to fit especially if your going to route out to back bumper, Horsepower and Torque are relevant to how well you match up your parts for want you want the motor to do, In other words Cam design, Compression Ratio, Heads used Ect.
