That would be neat. Can you give some examples of those engines?

That's a very interesting article on the XV8. I think it would be outstanding to see this in the Camaro. I wonder if it's possible or if it has been "shelved"?

I think that might be the one that GM canceled. not sure though. I kinda hope that it isn't. At a glance it sounds like it could be the perfect blend of multi-cam and in-block engines.

what they said. lol. but the DOHC mustangs are a pain in the arse to work on. at least that's what all my mustang friends tell me. but yet they still love their rustang.

I think design like XV8 has been shelved(rumors). I've put this once on forum. There is patent for CIB engine with 3 valves (and DI)
One with 2 camshaft in block

and other with 3 valves DI and single cam
