The Buick V6 is an OHV V6 engine developed by the Buick division of General Motors and first introduced in 1962. The engine was originally 198 cu in (3.2 L) and was marketed as the Fireball engine. GM continued to develop and refine the 231 cu in (3.8 L) V6, eventually and commonly referred to simply as the 3800, through numerous iterations.
The first Essex V6 released was a 3.8 L version introduced for the 1982 model year as an option on the Ford Granada. Bore and stroke were 96.8 mm × 86 mm (3.81 in × 3.39 in), for a total displacement of 3,797 cc (231.7 cu in). [1] Output was 112 hp (84 kW) at 4200 rpm and 175 lb⋅ft (237 N⋅m) of torque at 2800 rpm.
The V6 produced 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) at 4,000 rpm and 215 lb⋅ft (292 N⋅m) of torque at 2,500 rpm. For 1996, the base V6 engine gained five horsepower with a new power train control module (PCM), the EEC-V. The AODE transmission was replaced with the 4R70W four-speed automatic transmission.
Engines for the 1979–1982 models included the 88 hp (66 kW) 2.3 L Pinto inline-four, 109 hp (81 kW) 2.8 L Cologne V6 (made by Ford of Germany), and the 140 hp (104 kW) Ford small block engine back in 1982 with the moniker of 5.0 L and with its front fenders badged as such. All were carried over from the Mustang II line.
This engine family was Chrysler's first 60° V6 engine designed and built in-house for front wheel drive vehicles, and their first V6 not based on a V8. It was designed as a larger, more powerful alternative to the Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 in the minivans and debuted in 1989 for the 1990 model year.

The fifth-generation Mustang convertible concept, which resembles the later Shelby GT500. Developed between February and November 2002, two pre-production concept cars, a convertible and coupe model, were presented by Ford at the 2003 North American International Auto Show on January 5, 2003.
The base and LX models were powered by Ford's 3.8 L Essex OHV V6. Rated at 140 horsepower (104 kW) at 3,800 rpm and 215 lb⋅ft (292 N⋅m) of torque at 2,400 rpm, however many felt the V6 engine was somewhat underpowered for a car that weighed over 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg) in base trim (heavier when equipped with available options).
