  1. The Oldsmobile version of the 215 V8, with the extra head stud for turbocharging , was the engine block chosen by Jack Brabham and Repco in Australia to develop the Repco F1 V8 that helped Jack Brabham win the 1966 F1 championship and was further developed to help Denny Hulme win the 1967 F1 championship in a Repco Brabham. Pretty good for a rejected GM engine basis.
