Yep, they were in a few of them but darned few of them.  The '61 models offered
a 155 hp thing w/ either an automatic or manual transmission w/ a 2 barrel
carb.  The '62 models jumped up to a 185 hp engine which could only be obtained
w/ an automatic transmission.  These engines were the Buick version of the 215
and used the transaxle setup. (Info from the MG V8 Newsletter)
