Or was only available over the counter.

Are you saying the 301 didn't have enough tenure to have any legitimacy? It needed to last 24 years first?
I believe you mis-read his post. He was refering to the 303: developed for racing only, not the 301.

You forgot about the 260 Olds, 1975-1981. Millions & millions produced.

Also, Buick had a 340 small block in the mid sixties.
