ford made the solonoid accuated valve engine, i saw it in a hotrod mag over 20 years ago,,obviously they had problems making it work correctly, because it would have done wonders for the ice,, no cam,rockers,big friction and heat reducer, also being able to vary the valve opening and closing event by ecu to keep the engine in its peak range of volumetric effecientcy, at all times,,you could have a" hotrod cam" and a" fe cam" too little too late by the time they make it work right we will be offered battery powered alternatives (i hope).
