    It is being developed. Konigsegg is doing it, maybe others also

    Hahaha.

    Love it.

    The Clevo I had in my old F100 used 2V heads with 4V valves throated to suit.

    Torque monster.

    The 4V headed Clevos I've driven were amazing above 4000 though.

    but seriously the 302 boss would have to be up there winning Le Mans in a tough era.
    The Ford engine that blitzed Le Mans for years (60's) is the Ford FE series 427 side oiler under the leadership of Carrol Shelby, Regards Frank.

    I’ll have to check my book, but I think the 302 more successful in the GT40s than the 427

    F1 used the Cosworth DFV and derivatives that Ford commissioned/financed.

    F5000 were mostly Chev based although a few Aussie punters used Repco/Holden's.

    66,67 = 427
    68,69 = 302

    these both winning their repsective years.

    But over all, Looking at the GT40's race history, the most prolific engine used was the 289.

    other engines used much less were - 256, 305, 351, 390, 429 and a 496.
