I was never a big fan of the Olds 350 probably because I was a Chevy fan and the Olds 350 did not rev like a Chevy SB.
My Olds favorite in the 1960s is the aluminum V8, 215 cubic inches, and turbocharged. Two guys could pick it up.

It was weird to see an American - Olds-Buick-Pontiac engine with British carbs on it.
