The early Auroras actually had some quality problems butr were screamers.
This engine took the Daytona 24 hour endurance race and in at least one year, nearly every Indy car had this Olds engine for power. Even the V-6 version was almost as fast. The engine is really a downsized Northstar, but as a result would rev well beyond the Northstar. Olds had massaged this engine to their liking, and when left unhampered by General Motors, would build killer engines. But unfortunately the EPA and the General put a stop to that.
