Chevy’s small block saga continues with the M-code 350, famed for powering everything from hefty K-series pickups to motorhomes, boasting a respectable 160 bhp. The L83-350 made ’82 Corvettes roar with its cross-fire fuel injection, though ’83 took a pit stop. Enter the L98, flexing up to 245 bhp by ‘89 with a snazzy rear axle tweak. Not to be outdone, the L05 found its way into everything, from the Suburban to the Hummer H1, until replaced by the LT1’s swan song in ‘96.
If cars could talk, the 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible would probably brag about being the ultimate soft-top heartthrob of its time, with 11,571 lucky owners in tow. As the last of the G2 Cutlass convertibles, it bid farewell in style, even moonlighting as the Indy 500 pace car. Under the hood, it offered a V8 engine buffet with options like the 330 cu in and the Rocket 350. And for those who loved speed, the 442 came with a 455 Rocket engine ready to rock the asphalt.
