Yes there was and it was a dismal failure as far as engines go. It was this lack of sucess with the tunnel port that led to the design of the Boss 302 engine. Various racing engineers from the Ford teams have said that after the tunnel port engine, Ford teams went to Chevrolet dealers and purchased Z/28 crate engines to disassemble and see what made them tick and why they ran so well. In some respects the Boss 302 was a blatant rip off of the Z/28 motor.
