Pot liquor Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 Does anyone know where I can find information about the engine in my 60 98 Olds? cid, horsepower, etc. from the vin plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 There's nothing on the data plate about the engine. If it's the original engine, it is a 315 horsepower 394 shared with the Super 88. The Dynamic 88 still used the 371 in 1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Thats right. My old 1960 Super 88 had the 394. Dynamic 88 had the smaller engine. (371). My car also had factory in-dash air. Does anyone know the percentage of Super 88s with a/c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
