car was originally a 65/66 cutlass 441, this is all from memory from what he told me by the way, was never an american car buff, apparently they did an weedy early EPA version of the 442 called a 441, 2bbl carb and all that, and the rockets and stuff had the 350 motor again from memory (had a rocket 88 delta myself once with a big OMC block in it) but this thing had been tricked out extensively and again from memory it was a bored 427, I believe the 427 and 454 were the same bar the crank / stroke?

Guy used to run very high 10’s very low 11’s in it way back then.

Maybe part of the problem is here in the UK we always go by what it says on the original registration document, put a sportster engine in a norton frame and it’s still a norton, put a fomoco lump in a vette and it’s still a vette.

it was done in that special olds factory rust and vomit 2 tone paint job that probably looked lovely in florida sunshine but looked 20 years older than it was on a wet english day.. >;*)

it looked at lot like https://youtu.be/w5r8fgmdtWw

sounded just like this though https://youtu.be/M7wTXzLeyN4

lol

you mean a “442”? the ‘2’ usually stands for dual exhaust.

440ci would be a Dodge, i don’t think ‘441’ stands for anything.
