Hey all,
Are all the 70s and newer GM 350s the same engine or does Chevy have one, Buick another, Olds another etc.?

I might have a chance at a REALLY cheap non-chevy 350 that I know runs well, but I wouldn't want to waste a bunch of effort on being stupid.

Thanks for the help

Perhaps you ask this question knowing that at some point GM installed Chevrolet engines into non-Chevrolet car lines. Please be advised that the non-Chevy cars with Chevy smallblocks are most commonly 305's rather than the 350 that you seek.

Dyno and drag times coming

And the 350 GM engines are 3 different brands
Pontiac,Buick,Oldsmobile.The quickest way to id these,is by their valvecovers.The Buick has flat ribbed covers,Pontiac has smooth and large covers,and Olds has more canted and narrower covers.Of these 3 engines,the Olds is the most desirable,due to itīs large bore/shorter stroke ("6" rod),than the other ones mentioned.
