It varies by year. Originally, for the 1964 & 3/4 issue [seriously] vehicles, it was 4-speed, 4-bbl carb, and 2 exhausts... all 1964 models had the 4-speed manual trans, and the small 330 engine. There were even a few 4-dr models made [a "4442" ?] By the next year, however, auto trans and 400 CID big block was available, so "442" meant 400, 4-bbl, dual exhaust... The definition varied every year. In later years it was nothing more than an appearance package. The std issue in a 1972 442 was the 350 TWO BARREL.

Is a cutlass s the same as a cutlass 442?

Yes, and no. What year? Generally speaking the bottom of the line A-body was the F-85 A Cutlass was a better F85 A Cutlass S was a sporty Cutlass; the Supreme was a cushy Cutlass The 442 was a sportier Cutlass S The W30 was a sportier 442 Many parts are shared, all the way from the F85 to the W30, but then again many very significant parts differ- engines, cylinder heads, transmission, etc. And, of course, the packages varied every year, so you would have to specify a model year to be more exact. In certain years, 442's only got a big block engine, and no Cutlass was available with one. In general though, no, if you are paying for a 442, it better not be a Cutlass or Cutlass S.
