Actually Jim, the 3 litre 6 wasn't a new engine. New
certainly in its installation in the MGC but as a new power unit, it was in
truth rather ancient. First saw the light of day in about 1954 as the BMC 'C'
series power unit at 2.6 litres. Don't know if you have any Austin
Westminsters, Austin 3 litre saloons or Wolseley 6/110's in the States - but
if you do find one, check out the engine - and then look at one in an MGC. You
won't see too much difference, apart from two SU's and different coloured
paint :)
