This engine has the same covers as that spied 12 months ago in a US magazine. The cylinder head in those spy shots was OHC, not OHV.

The covers also share the same bolt pattern as the Bowles/Roush drag car, and that is a 7 litre 2V OHC.

Every large displacement engine that I have seen, proves to run more efficiently without overhead cams. DOHC V8s just suck the juice so bad, take up more space, and don't necessarily put out more power.
