Actually, for the "record"...that's not correct.
The first dual overhead camshaft engine is generally considered to have been in a 1913 Peugeot.
The first overhead valve engine was not introduced until 1918. Interestingly, it was developed by Louis Chevrolet and he patented the design.

As for what engine package I might do for the engine in Barney, the purple '95? I've studied all the posts here and I've traded emails with Marc Haibeck, Graham B. and Jim Van Dorn. I've decided the best bang for the buck as far as performance and durability will come with a boring old 368.
I think, if I my only Corvette was Barney and I had about half-again as much money, to spend, I'd consider Marc's open deck block modification and a 4.125-bore. Marc feels the open deck block results in better oil control. I agree. I think that's critical in a non-racing application.
