They are both good engines, I wouldn't say one is better than the other.
The 350 Rocket from the olds is Far superior. I just put one in my Grand Prix switched from the 350 Chevy and with a 4 barrel holly carb you will notice a BIG difference.
my money says the 350 olds rocket seeins how there was never a 357 chevy.
yes yes
NO
not if it is an Oldsmobile engine, Buick, Pontiac, and olds had the same bolt pattern in the 70's, different from Chevy
If it's for a 305 it's a Chevy and will interchange with a 350. If it's an Olds, it won't.
Not from the factory.
No, a 350 Olds motor is not the same as a Chevy 350 motor. The Oldsmobile 350 engine is a different design and has distinct specifications compared to the Chevrolet 350 engine. While both are V8 engines and were popular in their respective brands, they are manufactured by different divisions of General Motors and have different performance characteristics.
id take the rocket my self it has a little more power than the Chevy 350
Absolutely NOT!! While they do have the same displacement, they are COMPLETELY different engines.
The bolt pattern on Chevy engines is unique. There are TH350 transmissions with both the Chevy bolt pattern and the BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) pattern, but they are becoming somewhat rare.
A 350 Oldsmobile engine has a different bolt pattern than the Chevrolet engine. The 350 Olds and 350 Pontiac engines have the same bolt pattern. The 350 Chevrolet and the 350 Buick engines have the same bolt pattern. Unless you have a dual bolt pattern transmission (there are some out there) in that Chevy, the Olds engine won't bolt into the Chevy transmission.
