Has anyone seen the crankcase and block of a CCC/RS Crossflow modified like this? The workmanship is excellent - picked this block/crankcase up from Mark Rotharmel. Will be building this block for his Molinari this Fall.

I have seen many different ways to modify OMC V6 cross-flow blocks. Not 100% sure which way is the best.

Swedish Offshore champ Micke Frode’s first overall victory in Roslagsloppet Offshore race was 1977.
He drove his Z-4 Frode/Adidas/Evinrude 200 HP V6 2.448 cc cross-flow.
Beautiful pictures of the Frodé-cat.
