Offered in a variety of displacements over the 27-year run, the Generation II engine was offered in sizes ranging from 260 to 455 ci, suiting every possible need from reliable fuel economy to all-out performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOldsmobile V-8 Engines 1964-1990: How to Rebuild\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran author Mike Forsythe takes you through the complete process of rebuilding and restoring your Generation II Rocket V-8 to its original glory.
