Thanks.
Nay, the SVX 3.3 is a non interference motor because the cams are permanently connected by a GEAR just behind the rear timing cover. This prevents the cams from spinning independent of one another, but as you can also see, theres only one driven cam on each bank.... and the timing cover was made to fit that configuration.

Edit: fixed...
