Both the Buick V6 and the 229 cu in (3.8 L) Chevrolet V6 are 90° V6 engines, and are often referred to as the 3.8L V6. These engines should not be confused as being the same, and are unique engine designs. The 229 cu in (3.8 L) has a 3.736-by-3.48-inch (94.9 mm × 88.4 mm) bore and stroke, identical to the Chevrolet 305 cu in (5.0 L) V8 engine.
The small-block engine was introduced in the 1962 Ford Fairlane and Mercury Meteor cars. Displacing 221 cu in (3.6 L), it was designed to save weight, using thin-wall casting for a short-skirt block that does not extend below the centerline of the crankshaft.
