The Oldsmobile "Rocket" V-8 of 1949-on was the second of General Motors' new, "Modern" high compression V-8 engines, where the bore was larger than the stroke, a first in the (mass produced) auto industry. The honors for the first goes to the Cadillac 331 cu. in. V-8. The Oldsmobile is more celebrated because of the lower price of the host car and the racing records racked up by the Rocket powered Olds cars.

Every modern V-8 is a varation on the Cadillac V-8.
