Welll, I was informed it was a 4V carb, a 4 speed manual trans, and dual exhaust. Power plants could have gone bigger than 400, or been a worked over 350..... I'm not sure though.

Ok boys and girls, I left this thread for a few days to see where it would lead, and whether the arguments would die down on their own. Instead, all I've seen is a select few who just don't get it, either that, or they live for the conflict and the fight that ensues. So, once again, I've had to remove posts from this thread. To those that want to continue the fight, take it offline!!!!!!!!!!!!!This has nothing to do with censorship, but more to do about common sense. This is not the place to piss in each others cereal bowl!!!


Enough said.

I understand removing the offensive posts but you removed several that were not related?

In the first year, 1964 they all had 4 speeds. I believe they were also 330 cu in. I'm not sure if the Automatics came in 1965 or 66. I don't think the Turbo 400 came until '66.

There were not very many made in 1964.

Oldsmobile added to the confusion by publishing different definitions... But I think these are the "accepted" meanings of the 4-4-2 name plate.

Definition of 4-4-2 from the Oldsmobile Factory Literature:
1964 (Original meaning)
4: Four Barrel Carburetion
4: Four On the Floor
2: Dual Exhausts

1965 (First year of automatic transmission option on 442)
4: 400 Cubic Inch Displacement
4: Four Barrel Carburetion
2: Dual Exhausts

1985 to 1987 (Last of RWD 442s)
4: Four speed automatic
4: Four barrel carburetor
2: Dual exhaust

1990 and 1991 (FWD 442)
4: Four cylinders
4: Four valves
2: Two camshafts

thanks tech, looks like dan j did his home work. you are right ,orginaly it was like you said, and i was at the olds dealer 1969-1972 and thats how i made my living, if it hadnt been for people braking those 400 in the 442s i would have went hungry and thats what olds told me it stood for, after 1972 i dont know but im not going to look it up because i belive dan j did.
