I'm pretty sure that's the same company that has made the 4 valve push rod heads.
They are just so expensive that they are hard to justify.

you will see these on the trucks before the corvettes but the corvette will get them. ford already has 3 valve heads on their 04 trucks so chevy is playing catchup. this setup with a short pushrod to operate the exhaust valve was used on a 1939 BMW :chevy

Didn't 427 SOHCs use a short pushrod as well?

Re: New 3 valve heads! (clem zahrobsky)
I think it looks prone to failure...It looks like it belongs on a 39 bmw.This is 04, Im sure someone can do a better job than that.I guess it will work for a retro fit ...but why bother.I doubt you can rev it very high. But hey least someones is thinkin huh :crazy: That exhaust pushrod is what realy looks stuck in there
