Started making them in 1968 (before that they were a 330 ci). !968-1970 were the best. 1971 on up they lowered the compression ratio amoungst other things to burn unleaded gas. Like others said the W-31 was the "hot" one. The Chevy 350 had larger bore and shorter stroke which allowed it to use larger dia valves and rev quicker and higher plus had a lot more cheap speed equipment available. Olds for longevity , Chevy for performance. A few advantages over Chevy were 8 bolt valve covers , stronger block , internally ballanced crank , larger oil drain back holes in heads and exhaust manifolds "under" the spark plugs for lot easier plug changes.

The 442 '65 , '66 , '67 , 68 , '69 came with the 400 engine , '70 and '71 442 came with 455 or 455 HO (W-30) '72 on up 442 came with 350.
