Evinrude CCC Race Engine Facts
1976 OMC released the new V6 CCC. This was a 2.448 liter cross-flow engine and was based on the production powerhead with the same 2.448 liters. (Renato Molinari and Bob Hering drove this engine to victory in Parker 9 hours 1977.)
1978 OMC introduced the brand new purpose-built 3 liter “looper” V6 with fuel injection.This engine was also called CCC but a completely different animal from the first CCC. (Cees van der Velden won the Paris 6 hour race with this engine. 1979. Beating the Merc T4.)
1981 OMC introduced the baddest of them all in – the new purpose-built 3.5 liter V8 looper. No..it was not two more cylinders on top of the 3 liter V6 powerhead – then it would have been a 4 liter. The V8 was 3.5 liters.
The picture shows the 3 liter V6 looper. This CCC V6 used a special engine cover. The CCC cross-flow used a production type engine cover.
