Featuring a [[reverse-flow cylinder head]] and [[cylinder bank]] inclined at a 30-degree angle from vertical, it was introduced in {{convert|170|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} and {{convert|225|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} displacements for the 1960 model year. It was a clean-sheet design known within Chrysler as the '''G-engine''', built as a direct replacement for the [[Flathead engine|flathead]] [[Chrysler flathead engine#Straight-6|Chrysler straight six]] that the company started business with in 1925. The design proved very successful, being utilized in cars, trucks, boats, and agricultural, and industrial applications.
