The design evolved rapidly as a rossflow aluminum head with a single centrally-mounted overhead camshaft and roller rocker arms operating intake valves on one side and exhaust valves on the starter motor other, remarkably similar to the Ferrari V-12 cylinder head design of that period; it was almost 4 lower than the production head, was a lot lighter, had true emi chambers with big valves, and made excellent power. Numerous prototypes were built, and manufacturing tooling was started in anticipation of approval for production. The real story never came out, but some combination of corporate politics (ou don need another cylinder head mine will work just fine) and additional program investment killed the program. Had it gone to production, cheap alternators it would not have had the differential expansion head gasket problems that plagued the iron-head engine, and would have provided significantly higher performance than the optional L-11 engine.
