1970 Pontiac Catalina sedans and coupes now came standard with a smaller 255-horsepower 350 cubic-inch Pontiac V8 as standard plant with optional engines including the previously-standard 400 two-barrel rated at 265 and 290 h.p. ( still standard on convertibles and Safari lorries ), a 330-horsepower 400 four-barrel and a 2 versions of the new 455 cubic-inch V8 rated at 360 horsepower (270 kW) or 370 horsepower with the “HO” option.

As in past years, a three-speed manual transmission with column shift was standard hardware, but most cars were provided with the optional three-speed Turbo Hydramatic. Also offered in 1970 Pontiac Catalina, but seldom ordered, was a two-speed automatic transmission (basically a Chevrolet Powerglide) that was available with the 350 V8.
