1970 Executive engine options
I have a line on a 70 Executive 4dr sedan parts car. I need to decide on buying it sight unseen.
Was the 350 available in an Executive in 1970 or was the 400 the base engine? Thanks. Carmak |

According to the factory brochure available online here: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/stati.../dirindex.html the 400 was the base engine in an Executive.

The base engine was the 400 2bbl 290 horse premium fuel.. Available optional engine were the 265 horse 400 2 bbl, the 350 horse 400 4 bbl and both 360 and 370 horse 455 engines. The 350 was not listed as an option on the Executive.

Yep. I used to have a `70 Exec. It had the 290 hp 400. YD block code with the 16 heads.

It was the 70 Catalina that was downgraded to a 350, the smallest engine in a fullsize pontiac since 1957. I think even certain Catalina models like a wagon or a convertible still came with a 400

Got it home tonight.
It's a complete 400 4bl (possible #16 heads) and it has disk brakes. That is about it. The cattle used it as a scratching post and the racoons got in the interior through a rotted floor and ATE the interior. I think I'm going to save the engine, thans and disk brakes. The rest is going to scrap. Carmak |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
