All '55 Olds used 324 inch V8s, with two power levels. Someone else can post the HP ratings.

Lower one (2 barrel carb) was used in the 88, and the higher (4 barrel) in the Super 88 and 98.

........ what's a Super and Rocket 88/98?
"Rocket" was nothing but a a marketing term for the engines, and had nothing to do with the cars.
