> 350 > Buick adopted the popular 350 in³ (5.7 L) size with their final family of V8s. Although sharing the displacement of the [Chevrolet Small-Block engine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Small-Block_engine) family, the Buicks were substantially different. > The Buick **350** V8 had a 3.80 in bore (like the [231](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_V6_engine#231)) and retained the 3.85 in stroke of the 340. It was introduced in [1968](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968) and produced through [1980](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980). > The major differences of the Buick 350 when compared to other GM V8’s are, deep skirt block construction, higher nickel-content cast iron, external oil pump, under square bore sizing, 3.0" crank main journals, and 6.5" connecting rods. It is an extremely rugged and durable engine, and some of the design characteristics of the Buick 350 are found in modern GM engines such as the 231 V6, and Series I, II, and III 3800 V6’s. > Of all the GM 350-inch engines, the Buick 350 has the longest stroke, which lends to making significantly more torque than any of the others. It also made the Buick 350 significantly wider - essentially the same width as the Buick big-blocks, which have the shortest stroke of the GM big-blocks. > The Buick 350 was used in the Jeep [Gladiator](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Gladiator) and [Wagoneer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Wagoneer) from 1968 to 1971 heh, no shit… learn something new everyday. Sounds like they’re alot more rigid though --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-sbc-350/27705)._
