Mercury has a V6 that puts out 300 BHP on 185 CID  <--- that's right
Propshaft Rated Horsepower (HP / kW): 300 / 224
Displacement (CID/cc): 185 cu. In. (3032cc)
Bore & Stroke (in): 3.63 x 3.00
Bore & Stroke (mm): 92 x 76

Does ANYONE know why a "3.0L (185 CID) powerhead " isn't
181CID or 3000cc or smaller???

They also have a racing 2.0L V6 (1998cc) 180 HP @  7500.
Don't ask what they cost....
