google is your friend

The Pontiac Parisienne is a full-size rear-wheel drive vehicle that was sold by Pontiac on the GM B platform in Canada from 1958 to 1986 and in the US from 1983 to 1986. The Parisienne wagon continued under the Safari nameplate until 1989.

And it looks like all Parisiennes were powered by Chevy engines. Bet poor old 12GO is still having a fit on that one.

by then all the v8's were chevies.. The Buick, pontiac and Olds v8's were gone in favor of the cooperate v8's/ Small block Chevies.

They were rebrands, nothing else.

I recently saw an early '80s Caprice wagon being used as a home improvement mule. I hadn't seen one of those in a while.

Here is the list of engines for the 5th Gen. Parisiennes/Bonnevilles ('77-'86):

231 cu in (3.8 L) Buick V6
265 cu in (4.3 L) Pontiac V8
301 cu in (4.9 L) Pontiac V8
305 cu in (5 L) Chevrolet V8
307 cu in (5 L) Oldsmobile V8
350 cu in (5.7 L) Pontiac V8
350 cu in (5.7 L) Oldsmobile diesel V8
400 cu in (6.6 L) Pontiac

The Olds V8 lasted until 1990 in B-O-P wagons and I'm pretty sure the Cadillac Brougham.

Not only were they powered by Chevrolet, they WERE Chevrolets..! With Pontiac badges...
I owned a '58 Pontiac Parisienne,and it was 100% a '58 Chevy with Pontiac badges. It way my understanding it was done that way to get around the export tax.....

That's what I thought.... back when I was looking for a 455(pontiac) for my trans am, I found one in a Parisienne... unfortunately they wanted more than I was willing to pay. I didn't see 455 on your list though.
