Who knows- that's kinda lost in the mists of antiquity. I know
Duesenberg used a "modern by modern standards" DOHC 32-valve inline 8
(in normally aspirated and supercharged versions) in the 1920s. But I
doubt it was the first. There was an awful lot of experimentation with
engine configurations (OHC, L-head, T-head, OHV, etc.) in the 19-teens
and 20s before things settled in on the OHV cam-in-block setup in the
50s thru late 70s.
