Also Eagle made 4v heads for the gt-40 program but restrictions made it so they never made it onto the cars.

Why do I belive this to be true I saw one at a Seattle car show The rich bas**** also had a cougar with a 427 SOHC in it

As far as who said what 69 Boss 429 "just have to sell my house first"

also someone on this news group reminded me obout some 4v heads that used a y type rolloer rocker they were Aero or something i dont know what happened to that company. "did think about buying those heads "

There were 4 valve heads designed for the 302 recently. They were called Dominion 32v. Those heads were built for extreme high rpms. They run off a single camshaft, which produdces extreme stress on the cam.

A lot of Chevy guys and Ford guys experimented with the 4 valve per cylinder idea, mostly on pushrod engines years and years ago. What they found was the single camshaft could NOT take the pressure of the added valves, and it would snap.



There is a prototype 4 valve 302, the pic is from right here in the Mustangworks.com media center.

If you were to design a DOHC engine, on the same block as the Windsor, you'd need to setup a completely different ignition system, the distributor would have to go, the engine would be an absolute monster in size, and it would be heavier than the old big blocks. So you could do it, without redesigning the engine block, but you'd have to redesign the car it went into.
