    While I don’t have any direct knowledge that he used that term I imagine it may have been common in that era.

    Here is the head he manufactured without the SOHC setup on it, two siamesed intake ports and note the small water ports at the ends of the head. His SOHC kit could be added to this head.

    McDowell’s later DOHC head was four valve.
