The 442 did have a 455 from 70-75 though.

You are right, I stand corrected. I was thinking of the first 442's.

Good job!

Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a three-speed manual along with an optional two-speed automatic and four-speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s.

See? I learned something new...

For those that do not know...FISCHER BODY next door to the IRVIN WORKS, was where OLDSMOBILE bodies were made...

I had thought (have a long time friend who bought his '65 in '67 or '68, and knew a Lady who had a 65 Cutlass)

His was the 400 cid/4 spd w/duals. Hers? Three on the floor. Knew some one that had the 335"? in a '66....with the PowerGlide...

He kept that 442 until the mid '80's....Was a good running car.
