  Ford Weslake V12
Weslake also were constructing the cylinder heads for the works 3.0 litre V6 Ford Capris and also the Escort BDA being the dominant touring cars in 1971.
The Weslake Institute had become famous all over the world for their research concerning the gas flow within the cylinder heads making these developments stand on a scientific base.
While the Weslake V12 never entered the Williams Grand Prix car (for reasons that are not known), it was tested in the Gulf Mirage chassis, that was driven by Briton Derek Bell and Howden Ganley from New Zealand in the sportscar worldchampionship, in the middle of 1973 finally.

Also, having lost his Weslake deal in 1978 (Weslake chose to set up their own network of dealers and jacked their prices sky high), Don Godden was busy producing a motor of his own which would debut in 1979 and reach volume production for the 1980 season.
Weslake's last real success came with Bruce Penhall's 1982 retention of his World Championship in the only World Final ever to be held in the USA.
The Weslake company made some vain attempts to produce both a single and a double overhead camshaft motor, but success never retuned to the organization to the degree it enjoyed in the mid Seventies.

In 1965 a new Grand Prix formula was announced and Dan Gurney decided to try to build his own 3-liter engines for the new regulations.
Gurney commissioned a new engine from Weslake Engineering, a company run by Harry Weslake, the veteran engine designer who had worked with Jaguar in the 1930s and Vanwall in the 1950s.
The 60-degree 48-valve V12 engine was designed by ex-BRM designer Aubrey Woods and had only one run on the dyno before it made its debut at Monza in September 1966.

This sounds ridiculous yet you need not even slip the clutch; the Weslake engine just dips below 2000rpm and pulls back up again as if that's what it was born to do.
There is only the scream of the Weslake and the bizarre speed with which the rev-counter will show 9OOOrpm in top gear to remind you this is a 3-litre Formula One car, and the most powerful of its era.
No matter, simply ask the Weslake for a hand and it responds, sliding into neutrality and, if you like, the powerslides that await beyond.

I have had a little experience with the Weslake OHC heads for the 650's but have not had any hands on experience with one for a tigger cub.
The combustion chamber though is not in the piston like a heron but is set up in the head and the valves look really shrouded and there appears to be minimal squish.
I believe Weslake sacrificed some very important factors, such as valve angle/placement, squish, etc, etc, inorder to achieve the OHC design.
