Yeah 70 was an odd year. When the engine size was lifted it wasn't the flag ship Corvette that got the big dog engine, it was the Chevelle that got the LS6. But in 71 the rolls were reversed. Go figure.
Other manufactures did similar things. If you wanted certain engines, you had to buy certain cars to get them.
I'm not complaining how things turned out though. All the manufactures had some pretty hot cars for the time and the competition kept things interesting, and you're right, Buick was right in the mix with them.
