| Re: explanation of matching numbers Determined this info at the olds 442 website, which has a wealth of Olds casting number decode info (beyond just the 442) and has not been mentioned yet in this thread: http://www.442.com/oldsfaq/ofblk.htm#Blocks
hope this info helps others

While your were successful, don't believe everything at that FAQ. That FAQ is simply a compendium of posts from the old Oldsmobile email list server from 10-15 years ago. Some of it is correct, some is not. It has the same problems as Wikipedia, but with less vetting... and I even wrote some of it.
