I have seen a couple people on this forum claim that an OHV engine has fewer parts than an OHC engine, but to my knowledge it is the opposite. An OHC engine does not have valve lifters, pushrods, and in some cases rocker arms. If they are referring to a 32v DOHC such as the 5.0 coyote they may have a point due to the extra valves, cams, and rocker arms.
