Olds first real V-8 engine came about in 1949...It was called a Rocket. It came in various displacements as already mentioned until 1964 when the modern Rocket engine was put into production. This displaced 330 cubes. In 1965 the big brother to the 330 was produced with 425 cubes. Olds titled this new top of the line V-8 the Super Rocket to state the fact that it was new and improved. While the big block was called the Super Rocket the smallblock 330 was called the Jetfire....Yes, these terms were on the Air Cleaner but also in sales brochures etc. 1967 was the last year for the 425 as in 1968 the displacement went to 455 and the 330 was increased to 350 cubes. The 67 88 with a 425 and 4bbl is no slouch.....Good Luck!
