I touched on that reason in my post, the pan is wider, the main caps hang down further on a Pontiac, the crankshaft is also much more mass and hangs down further into the pan. The crank also has large counterweights.

All the mass that makes the Pontiac bottom end stronger than other brands make obstacles that complicate pulling the pan in chassis.
