I have never heard that Alfa Romeo planed for a series production of a cc3000 car after the second world war
I think that the 6C3000 prototype is the missing link to understand the engines. Luckily, it is an easy one to point to: Fusi, page 435-6, 3 cars made. 6 cylinder engine bore 82.55 x 92mm

Now look at the Gazzella, on page 414-9, and especially the engine photo on page 416 and the accessory layout of the engine in the drawings on page 418: this engine is unrelated to the 6C3000 - 1900 engine.
