I think what we are saying is...if Olds did run low on the new 400 motor
to
put in the car for its early production...that maybe...just maybe they
did
put the 425 motors in some. I thinks thats all some are saying.
They didn't run out of 400Es, and I'm sure the CEO of Olds would fire his
procurement manager before he put 425s into '65 442s if there had been a
shortage. A shortage of engines would have simply slowed production,
allowing the Olds dealers to charge a premium price. That didn't happen,
either. I was 18 years old then, and wanting one. I was on top of that
issue, bugging Hell out of Olds people, and trying to figure out a way to
get one.
