Most of the cross-flow blocks where similar. Front half of the block and exhaust manifold was race special. Pretty boring stuff.
OMC introduced the 3 cylinder 1968 and it was a looper. Also a race model and probebly the most successful race engine ever 20 years later.Last edited by lars strom; 06-21-2017 at 11:36 AM.

No, Mercury stopped the OZ class racing again in Paris 6 hours when OMC released the V8.
We raced F1-V8 ones (1984) at a different place in Paris and not a enduro race.

I wrote this story about the Paris 6 hour race a year ago.
In my opinion the famous Paris 6 Hour race died already 1981.

Jim:
You need to go over to Scream and Fly site and set the record straight on v_6 history. I know you are an old fart like me, but history needs to be accurate

This is a perfect thread to get everything right regarding OMC race engine history.
I believe I know most of what was going on in the OMC outboard tunnel boat racing world.
Raced at all the big races as Paris (11 years), Bristol, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Bosch, Rouen 24 hours, Cardiff, Nottingham, London, Lyon, Leon, Liege, Evian, Berlin, Berlin Tegel, Chasewater, Como, Idroscalo, Casale, Auronzo, Cremona, Vishy, Antwerpen,
Brodenbach, Stockholm, Drammen, Sevilla, Lappenranta, Sabaudia, Lecco, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Johannesburg and many more great places.Last edited by lars strom; 06-21-2017 at 06:26 PM.

Rotary John,
Well Jim Nerstrom know way more than me regarding OMC engines but I know Mercury talked OMC in to sleeve down the racing V8 to 3 liter 1988 to please Mercury drivers.
I think that was a mistake and a 5 liter sounds way better..
The 1988 US Formula 1 Series..OMC used a 3 liter F1 V8..!!
