According to my SUPER TUNING and BLUEPRINTING OLDS "W" MACHINES, W-30 W-31 W-32, Registered NHRA Limits, for the '68-'69 model year, one had to order the 442 option first, which automatically was the W-32 (400 standard engine 286 cam). The W-30 could be picked instead of the W-32 to get the 400 engine with the 328 cam in a 442, along with the other goodies for a W-30. The W-31 SB with 308 cam was simply an add-on option to an Olds A-body. I would assume for '70-'71, a W-30 was selected as an option **after** the 442 option was selected by the buyer, similar to the '68-'69 buying procedure. > What does that make my Rallye350? A bastard child? Redheaded stepson? I don't know. Look at the following for another take on the definition of a Muscle Car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car Milton Schick 1964 442 Cutlass [EMAIL PROTECTED]
