WTF is a "Northstar 350"? 
Reading all these BS "facts" you continue to spout is getting old.
The Oldsmobile "Rocket" V8 was the first post-war OHV V8 at General Motors. Production started in 1949, with a new generation introduced in 1964. Like Pontiac, Olds continued building its own V8 engine family for decades, finally adopting the corporate Chevrolet 350 small-block and Cadillac Northstar engine only in the 1990s.
All Oldsmobile V8s use a 90�° bank angle, and most share a common stroke dimension: 3.4375 in (87.3 mm) for early Rockets, 3.6875 in (93.7 mm) for later Generation 1 motors, and 3.385 in (86 mm) for Generation 2. The engine could be classified as a small-block, but Oldsmobile used a higher deck height for a 4.25 in (107.9 mm) stroke to boost displacement to a big-block-like 455 in�³ (7.5 L).
The Rocket V8 was the subject of many first and lasts in the automotive industry. It was the first mass-produced OHV V8 in 1949; the first use of electronic port fuel injection in 1976; and was the last carbureted engine passenger car engine in 1990
Never was there a "Northstar 350", but the Northstar was derived from the old Oldsmobile V8 Small block to PRODUCE a 350 Chevy motor, and the northstar 4.2L 276 cu.in. V8, used in teh Aurora.
