Nope. The Olds 350 and Chevy 350 are completely different designs. The only part they have in common is the distributor cap. EVERYTHING else is different. You'll have as much luck getting Ford parts to fit as you will Chevy parts (actually, roller rockers for a small block Ford DO fit Olds motors...).

Note that if you're looking through catalogs like Summit and Jegs, their paper catalogs don't list everything they stock. Since space is limited, they only show the more popular items in the catalogs. Check their on-line catalogs for a greater selection.
