 Ford F150 Ford's Romeo Engine Plant to Build New 4.6L 3-Valve V8
As a part of the investment at Romeo, Ford is converting its current high-volume 2-valve 4.6-liter engine assembly line to a “flex line” to build the 4.6-liter in both 2-valve and 3-valve variants.
With the new 3-valve design, Ford engineers discovered they were able to get many of the benefits of a 4-valve design — such as a central spark plug and symmetrical combustion chamber — using two intake valves and a single exhaust valve — with reduced weight and complexity compared with 4-valve designs.
As an example of the engine team’s holistic approach, this improvement in peak flow also is due to a completely redesigned intake port, which provides a much straighter path to the cylinder — very similar to the approach taken in racing engines.

 Ford Y-block engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Y-block was the 1954 239 in³ (3.9 L) Ford engine; known for its deep skirting to make the engine resemble a Y. Rated at 130 hp (97 kW), it replaced the 239 in³ (3.9 L) Flathead which was rated at 106 hp (79 kW).
It is interesting to note that both Ford and Chevrolet went to optional "big block" engines for 1958, 352 in³ (5.8 L) at Ford compared to 348 in³ (5.7 L) at Chevrolet.
This particular version of the Y-Block engine was used in Argentina well into the eighties, and was known as Fase II (Phase II).

 Enjoy The Drive -- Engine Building Errors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Those mid-'70s to mid-'80s 351 engines had low compression and small valves, meaning they need a little more help to heat them up than an early high-performance engine or a late-model fuel-injected unit.
Most engine builders will tell you that porting the heads on a relatively mild engine will kill your low-end torque, which is the most likely reason you feel the car is a little pokey around town.
Additionally, increasing the stall speed on your torque converter when the engine is fairly mild--and the weight of the car is on the low side--is an unnecessary expense.

Once the engine was on the dyno and broken in JC would set up ATI's torsional measuring gear, measure the crank's vibrations, then build the appropriate damper specifically for the Scat crank and rods, the Probe pistons, or rods and pistons of comparable weight.
Many pro engine builders are finding having the cam spec computed often delivers as much as twice the increase that is seen by just guessing the cam spec from experience or buying an off-the-shelf cam just because it has worked in the past.
