"In December (1973), Ford replaced the Cologne V6 based RS2600 with the Essex V6-based RS3100, with the usual 3.0 L Essex V6's displacement increased to 3,098 cc (189.1 cu in) by boring the cylinders from the 93.6mm of the 3.0L to 95.2mm. Unlike its predecessor, it used a double-barrel Weber carburettor, and reached the same 150 PS (110 kW). Only 250 RS3100s were built for homologation purposes. However, the car was still competitive in touring car racing, and Ford Motorsport produced a 100-model limited edition with this new engine."
