To take you WAY back to October 28th when, in the CANADIAN MUSCLE CAR MYTH thread, I said I would only update that thread if I got a response. Well, I got a response!
This goes back to Jim's reply saying he got hold of a toll-free number for GM's Vintage Vehicles line (1-888-467-6853), free to Canadian residents only.
I heard from someone named George just yesterday. Here are the main points of that conversation:
1. No FGFs were ever produced in Canada. 2. Some Pontiacs in that era produced in Canada DID have Chevy engines installed (specifically the 302), as Canadian Pontiacs were smaller in size compared to their U.S. counterparts (really?). 3. Putting a Chevy engine in a Canadian-made Pontiac became more common in the 80's and 90's. 4. And finally - Chevy engines were put in FGFs for racing!
Interesting...
