Olds engine history
In case any of you haven't seen this yet, it's a pretty informative overview of Olds V8s.

A lot of mis-information and BS, in here.
I don't have time to elaborate, I'm sure others will.

BTW the history of Oldmobile V-8's starts with the 1916 thru 1922 flathead V-8.

I didn't have to go very far when he said the 371 was the first to use hydraulic lifters and valve train. That was enough.

Once again, just because something is on the interwebs doesn't mean that it's true or correct.
