buick vs chevy

i reasintly posted a subject called(350 motor i found), but iwas talking to the guy who owns it today. he said it came out of a cube van what had an accirdent. he's not sure if its a four bolt. so anyway then i asked some other people about my plan. someone told me to get a 350 rocket, they said it was better that the other motor even if it was a four bolt. he said the rockets could handle more power. any truth to that? one more question, is there a good aftermarket for the 350 rocket? cause i want to make a sweet motor here, you know things like forged internals and alum heads etc?

I'm assuming this isn't a joke.

"Rocket" was Olds, not Buick. The Olds can be made to run, but it's expensive. The Buick 350's were boat anchors.

yeah i always get buick and olds mixed up. whoops, yeah i guess the 4 bolt is more commonly known and therefore is a cheaper build up. well, i'll keep looking for a 4-bolt i spose...
