This engine was first raced in 1977 (Paris 6 Hours) and was used only by OMC factory race drivers up to early 1981 in the UIM OZ class. Replaced with the OMC 3.5 liter racing V8 in Brodenbach, Germany in June 1981.
Most V-6 looper 3 liter race engines was equipped with fuel injection but there was a few with carburetor.
Mainly because legal action from Mercury Racing and OMC could not use the fuel injection for six month if I remember right.
Yes it is me in the beige pull-over behind Renato Molinaris 3 liter V6 looper with fuel injection in Drammen, Norway 1980. (first picture)
Note.. this engine was also using the CCC decal but was a completely different animal from the first 2.4 cross flow triple C

Thank you.
Paris Six Hours 1979… OMC overall win. Beats the Merc T-4 with a 3 liter V-6
