How about a DOHC hemi head made to work with our current blocks or a short deck version ?
Its not like the SOHC hemi head is not in our heritage, take it one step(and 2 valves) further. Early designs were made in 1970 and chevy nixed the idea. It became the Cadillac Northstar V8. They had problems in the end.
But the 1970 Pontiac engine used a RAV crank so it must have had the same bore spacing.
Could it be done with our current aftermarket blocks ?
4 valves per hole is a giant leap. Not even in the same conversation as 2 valves.
It would be a larger version of my Tundra V8. I believe it the largest of the currently available DOHC V8 hemis. Its a awesome engine.
