An Overhead Valve Engine.
This dates back to the old Ford flathead V-8 engine which was a side valve design. when GM came out with their post WW-II V-8's. Cadillac & Olds had the intake & exhaust valves in the heads...resulting in defining these engines as an... Overhead valve engine.
Hope this helps.I think his point was that Porsche would NOT have to dig deep in the warehouse to find an overhead valve engine as the previous poster stated. ALL engines are overhead valve engines no matter where the cam is located these days, and always have been for Porsches, whether pushrod 356s (yep, just like them there V8s) or 911s.

I'd be amazed if you could go into any dealership and buy ANY part for a NASCAR car. I don't think there is anything "stock" on them!!!
I take that back. I just remembered you can get that brake fluid that the NASCAR guys use at Ford. And maybe lug nuts.
Still not a part, however!

I started reading that article and said to myself "is this an april fools article" then literally checked the spine to see if I picked up the wrong one
if you read it, it also says that the engineers were "disappointed" that they couldnt put the cayenne in the truck series.
