The 250 engine was discontinued in 1961. A V8 engine was not offered in the Rambler models with the exception of the  327, which was only available in the top-of-the-line Ambassador. 

Dealers complained, so the {{cvt|287|CID|L|1}} V8.<ref name="AmericanMuscleCars8"/>  was introduced in mid-model year 1963 as an option for the "mid-size" Rambler. Like the 327, it uses hydraulic valve lifters. Only two-barrel models were produced, there were no four-barrel options from the factory for the 287 as this was the economy model V8. The 287 engine was produced through the 1966 model year.<ref name="AmericanMuscleCars8"/>
