Excerpt: The Buick V6, initially marketed as Fireball at its introduction in 1962, was a large V6 engine used by General Motors. The block is made of cast iron and all use two-valve-per-cylinder iron heads, actuated by pushrods. The 3800 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines of the 20th century list, and is one of the most-produced engines in history. To date, over 25 million have been produced.

Because it was derived from Buick's 215 cu in (3.5 L) aluminum V8, it has a 90 bank between cylinders and an odd-fire firing pattern that include the two 'phantom' cylinders from the V8 pattern.
