This is my 1972 oldsmobile cutlass 442. this is just after replacing the cam with the comp thumper cam. This is the re-upload since the original post mysteriously lost audio.

For those of you saying that's a fake 442 because it has a 350 you really should at least do a simple google search before making yourself look dumb. Olds 442 did come with a Rocket 350 not to be confused with a SBC350 ( Small Block Chevy 350 ) the Rocket 350 is a completely different animal and one hell of an engine. Do a little research and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also the 442 was much more than an appearance package. The 442 has different suspension, rear ends and handling package. There's a reason a 442 cost two times as much as a Cutlass and it's not because of appearance.

Steve Carguy You are absolutely right. I had a '72 442 back in the day and it came with a 350 rocket. Loved that car!

That's not true of oldsmobile. The 1970 w30, had air condition as an option. In fact you could get power windows and other luxuries. Power brakes on the other hand was not an option for some Oldsmobiles because of the long cam duration, not enough vacuum. The 350 ramrod version, later known as The w 31 option, had this cam from the factory.

Tanner get the factory W-30 grind camshaft for the '70 442 automatic you will love it I find the factory cams work the best for there spec. I built a wild small '67 330 - 400 HP. AS WELL AS '66 425 - 520+HP. Just with a few tricks that small block will motor quit well and you will be happy Joe Mondelo & Doc. Watson knew how to make them work real well... There is some head work that can be done or Edelbrock heads do wonders even the Edelbrock heads can have work to them as well if you know what your doing...

How do you figure sports fan? In 72, the 442 was no longer a model but a trim level. You could get a 350 442 with a bench and column shift if you wanted to. It was more of a trim and suspension package at that point.
It's not a 442 didn't come with 350 and the rear bumper is Cutlass bumper don't have the dual exhaust cutouts...tell tale signs right there to bad could not see dash pass side dash tag Cutlass Supreme or 442 but I say Cutlass

@rab621843 жыл бұрын
I agree, it is possible it is a clone, but 72 was a trim package again, so it could be added at the dealer to any trim or engine level. Truth be told, it was an H engine code, low comp 350 2 barrel, so I doubt it was a real 442. That is the way it came to me as a gift, so either way, I wasnt going to let it go!
