This engine was introduced in 1964, very similar to the earlier V6 beginning with the 1962 model year which had a smaller displacement of 196 cubic-inch. This engine was basically a Buick V8 300 CID engine with two cylinders sawed-off. The optional engine was a 300 cubic inch cast iron block and heads V8 with a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor that generated 210 horsepower (160 kW) at 4600 rpm. An optional V8 version of the 300 CID engine was offered with aluminium heads with a 11:1 compression and a 4-barrel carburetor generating 250 hp (190 kW). A long throw 4 speed Hurst shifter was available.
