A 283 cu in (4,640 cc) engine fitted with solid lifters, the "Duntov" cam and fuel injection was rated at 283 hp (211 kW). This was the first time in history that a General Motors vehicle achieved 1 - hp - per - cu - in in a production vehicle . Fuel injection continued as an option throughout the early 1960s .
