The Yamaha OX77 is a naturally aspirated, gasoline-powered 3.0 litre V8 racing engine that Yamaha developed and built for Formula 3000, specifically the Japanese Formula 3000 Championship, in 1987 and 1988. It is derived from the Cosworth DFV engine, but where the DFV has four valves per cylinder the OX77 has five. The engine's best known result came in 1988, when Aguri Suzuki drove it to the Japanese Formula 3000 Championship title, the one major honour the short lived design earned.
