Olds 350 are decent. Ran them in my '69 Cutlass. As you probably already know. Easy ID is their oil filler tube at the timing chain area. Valve arrangement is different than the SBC too.

If you go with one stick to the earlier '68-'76 engines. Later ones were light castings with weak windowed main webs. About every one I saw with miles on them had main saddle alignment issues. 403 are just as bad.

Olds 455 were torque monsters. Big reason you see them in boats.
