I would think with 450hp something that small would be very interesting to drive.

Probably a short cranked 350 Olds.

Ah, so probably very different in character than what is typically called a 305 (small bore, long stroke) that GM put in cars from the factory.

They also had a 6.0L version of the car... Mofo got all mushy when he read that.

I was hoping for a pic of a 1955 Olds.
