It would be 422 if it's a 400 with a 2 barrel and dual exhaust.
I found a mention of the option in a story on Vistas and Sportwagons in the Feb. 2005 Collectible Automobile.
In reference to the '68 Vista and what engines were available it says," The Oldsmobile mill, cribbed from the muscular 442, developed 325 bhp and 440 pound feet - though a 290 bhp "Turnpike Cruising" variant with a two barrel carb and long legged axle ratio was available."
It's written in a fine magazine, it has to be true.
