I guess there was, Paddock sells a new engine harness for it with a V6, I've never seen one though all the ones I've seen had a 330 V8. Here's a couple links...

The only GM vehicles that had V6`s in em in the 60`s was the GMC truck and in a Buick....it was a Buick engine and in those years each division had their own engines......GM sold the design in the late 60`s to Jeep and bought it back in the 70`s

You are incorrect. The Buick V6 (in 225 cu inch form) was factory available in the 1964 and 1965 Cutlass and F85. My family bought one brand new in 1965 (with 3sp manual on the column). I also have the 1964 and 1965 Olds Chassis Service Manuals and both show the V6 option.

I'm afraid memory is the second thing to go, and I can't remember the first... :wink:
You are thinking of the aluminum block 215 cu in V8, used in the 1961-1963 Buick, Olds, and Pontiac compacts. The 215 is actually the same architecture (bore spacing, head design, front cover) as the Buick V6, but the V6 was always cast iron. The V6 was also released in 1961 (in 198 cu in size) but only offered in the Buicks for 1961-63. For 64-65 it grew to 225 cu in and was also offered in the Olds (still cast iron). As noted previously, the V6 design and tooling was sold to AMC for use in Jeeps in the 1960s then bought back by GM in 1975 after Oil Embargo #1.
