There were plenty of overhead cam engines that existed in 1971, including some cool V8s like the SOHC Fords, but there were NOT overhead cam Small Block Chevrolets. Well, not from the factory that is. But how about this crazy cool small block Chevrolet that has dual overhead cams on each cylinder head!?! I dig this bad boy. Yep, it’s a 4 valve head on a small block Chevrolet and I bet it sounds pretty strange but awesome. Can you imagine spinning this thing to 10,000 rpm or something crazier?

This one was put together by a company called Moser and was actually on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine in 1971. They were never available for purchase, as the ones that were finished were prototype and testing models that were designed for Indy car type racing. Man. We could talk about this combo for days, but you need to just watch the video. It’s cool as hell.

I’m a pushrod V8 guy, but there is something really cool about this thing here. Check out the video and let us know what you think. What would you do with one of these if you had it?

Video Description:

In this video, we take a deep dive into one of the rarest and most innovative Chevy small block engines to ever exist – this 5-overhead cam (DOHC) Chevy 350, built by the brilliant minds of Pete Aardema and Kevin Brown. This engine is an engineering masterpiece, inspired by the iconic 1971 Moser DOHC Small Block Chevy, and is designed to push the limits of performance with its advanced 5-cam configuration.

Originally conceived to offer improved airflow, increased efficiency, and enhanced power output, this unique engine is unlike anything you’ve seen before. Pete and Kevin’s expertise has brought this vision to life, creating an engine that not only performs at the highest level but also showcases the pinnacle of small-block Chevy engineering.

Pete and Kevin are allowing Greg Quirin to take this engine to the next level by integrating a fuel injection system and wiring up a Haltech 2000 ECU. This advanced electronic control unit will ensure that the engine runs with precision, delivering peak performance and reliability. The addition of modern fuel management technology promises to maximize the engine’s potential.

Join us as we explore the technology, and hard work that went into creating one of the rarest small-block Chevys in existence. From the legendary Moser DOHC design to the final touches, this engine is not just a performance powerhouse – it’s a true piece of automotive history.
