1973 LAURENTIAN SHOULD IT HAVE A CHEVY 350, OR PONTIAC?
Permalink  

HI THERE,

 

 I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS IF THE '73 LAURENTIAN IS A CANADIAN ONLY CAR/IF IT SHOULD HAVE A CHEVY 350 OR PONTIAC?

ALWAYS WANTED A CANADIAN ONLY PONTIAC, SEEMS LIKE I FOUND A GOOD ONE, MAYBE, BUT CAN'T GO LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS. ANYBODY KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE IN THE CAR?

THANKS, DAVE.

I've never seen a Laurentian with an American Poncho engine, only Parisiennes ...

Not sure for 73 but the 455 I put in my 64 GTO clone came from a 75 Laurentian 4 door sedan.

Yes, yet another unusual Pontiac I scrapped to get the engine..........

Funny story about that car...

At that time I lived in town. We owned the farmyard hear but hadn't built our house yet but I was starting to move cars and parts out here from various locations I had been storing them at. I had the trunk and back seat of that Laurentian filled with heavy stuff, blocks, heads, cranks, whatever making that boat brutally heavy. I drove the car out here and when I got here, just for fun I did maybe a 3 grand neutral drop! All I got was a big bang, it didn't even spin! I sheared the rear joint right off!!!

Thanks for the info. I thought that maybe after '70 (auto trade pact gone) they might have been putting u.s. engines in them. Cool they were still Canadian models.
Dave.
