A 442 in a Volt might sell. A "442" is not an engine, it's a car. It's pronounced "four four two", and not "four forty two". The engine in a 1970 4-4-2 was a 455 cube monster. The 4-4-2 designation originally represented 4 barrel carb, 4 speed transmission, and dual exhaust.

Always thought the first 4 in 442 stood for 400ci.
I stand corrected.
Do know at the end of production they were up to the 455ci.
They were pretty hot, but GTO looks and sales kind of did them in.
