3 valve head?
It doesn't say much about it. I'm not even sure if it's for the C5/C6 LS base motor. But it appears to be for GM.

If you look at the patents, you can see the design more better. There is actaully two designs. One is a single cam, and the other is a dual cam ( one on top of the other) . But both are not over head cams, and they run pushrods. Is GM working on a LS9 motor?

hmmm dual cam pushrod motor. looks more complicated with more parts than a single cam pushrod motor. more valve train weight. why not go to a dual over head cam?

As I understand it, that motor is, 6.2 liter, supercharged, and they are playing around with the valving and camming. I believe those heads are going to be using variable valve timing. The engine is supposed to be going into the C6 Blue Devil. I had a link to it, I'll try and find it.

You can find news updates about the new "STING RAY" in DIGITALCORVETTE.COM . The name was confirmed by Autoweek Magazine, I believe they have an excerpt from that article on their forum. Latest info has the engine as being an lower compression LS7 set up for supercharging with 600HP.
