Oldsmobile People.. I need pictures..

Sorry my computer is acting up, its stuck in french accents and stuff.
I am looking for pictures of the early ~'48-50s Rocket motors. I am looking for some different views of it... thank you very much.

Footnote: Yes I messed up the title. I know Rocket engines were Olds, not Buick,,

 

Rocket Motors were in Oldsmobiles.

I know us Buick guys are a little offbeat, but very few Rockets in our cars.

 

Them Rockets must've been pretty versitile to be in a stock Buick, probably dealer addon.
(Just love being a smartass when oppertunity arises)

 

if you have to be an ass be a smart ass!

 

whats with these people

 

LOL Sorry. I had a brain fart.
It was 4 am when I posted this and I was watching a low-rider show and the guy said buick riveria.

Yeah I'm looking for olds pictures...
DOH!

 

335" Rocket in 50 Ford coupe.

 

303 in my 49 olds

 

Here are some pics of my 303 just purchased w/Hydro. Check out the homemade headers.

 

Here are some of my Rockets.

 

What were the color of this engine new? Is it green?

 

My partially finished 303 with 324 heads and intake.

 

are you looking for stock motors in stock vehicles for restoration reference,
or hot rod stuff?

 

Looking for stock appearance motor. IE Stock color, stock tins.

What size/year did they come all green with the copper/gold plug cover on the valve covers?
What size/year did they come with the copper/gold color valve covers?

 

Nice ^.

When did the engines come all green?

 

here's a few Google images;

1949? 303


1953 324


1957 371


1963? 394

 

and a few misc valve covers in chronological order
certainly not all the factory offered,
the wire looms came in first polished aluminum on gold covers
and then gold painted steel on green covers
the later valve covers came in several colors green, gold, silver and chrome through the years

 

Fusick offers engine paint in the correct colors. If I'm right about this, there are two different greens. The darker green is for the earlier Rockets and the lighter green looks like the engine color for GMC's Detriot Diesels.

The engine that Shadowmountiancustoms posted is Rocketeer PORN!

 

What is Fusick? Do they have the valve cover colors and stuff too?

 

google: Fusick.com

 

Sorry, I kinda thought it may be a member here. They won't ship the paint to Canada, does anybody know any readily available colors that are close to the green and gold?

 

Rustoleum "Forest Green" is close to '49-'56 color.

 

What about the goldish color for the valve covers?

 

'49-'50 use the wire holders, '51 up are stamped Oldsmobile Rocket
