Chrysler 1964-65 doomsday device, a DOHC 426 hemi. Never produced, never run under it's own power. As soon as NASCAR heard about it, all overhead cam V8's were banned in 1966. After the ban, this engine was no longer needed.
This is only partly true, Ford had built their DOHC engine and ran it, NASCAR ban it and all other OHC engines, the Chrysler motor was in development and the ban caused them to scrap the idea. Fords engine was used in a lot of drag cars as they had them built for production and you could order them through the parts department.

Just for clarification, the FORD engine is SOHC. (**and it says so right on those beautiful valve covers
SOHC = one cam which has lobes for both intake and exhaust .
DOHC = one cam with Intake lobes, and another cam for exhaust lobes.
**Any OHC engine with more than one cylinder head (ie: a V or W type engine) will have multiple cams, but it's callout (SOHC vs DOHC ) is determined by whether it has one cam which has both intake and exhaust lobes, or individual cams for Intake and exhaust lobes.
SO, a 427 SOHC has one cam per cylinder head, which has both intake AND Exhaust Lobes, but because it's a V8, it has two heads, which means it actually has two cams, but is still called an SOHC
The Cylinder heads on a Coyote engine have each have an Intake Cam and exhaust cam, so it's a DOHC.
Is that any clearer than mud?

1969 Pontiac Ram air V 303ci
Apparently only 25 303's actually were made for the Trans Am race series but there were lots of Ram Air V parts available over the counter to make the 400 into a RA V.
Note the exhaust manifolds, only two pairs are known to have survived.
