this one doesn't have power anything.

looks like this same motor, odd gold color.

was that a 350 rocket thing or was all olds motor painted gold.
were 350/400/455 all the same block

All Olds 350's of that era were painted gold. 350 was a different block than a 400 and 400 was a different block from a 455 and 400 (66-67) was a different block than a 400 (68-69). Are you confused yet? Realoldspower.com is a good information site as well as 442.com. Be forewarned about ROP, you have to have a thick skin to live on that site.
