You couldn't really call it a 3-litre motor from the 75, as
the 75 (at
least the 3-litre version) hadn't been built at that stage.
I believe
it was the first Alfa 3-litre V6.... which might be one of
the reason
they built the limited production car with carbs, when a
properly calibrated EFI wasn't yet available.

I seem to recall it ran 3 x twin choke downdraft webers, not
dellortos.
