It's all in the cam.
They just change the cam grind so that the exhaust valve opens on the intake stroke, and the intake valve opens on the exhaust stroke.
It's not very efficient without major head work, because exhaust valves are much smaller than intake valves. I can't see any reason for it except for visual impact.Jack

What an interesting combination!
Looks like a nailhead Buick with a crank driven blower with 4 carbs, pushing air into what used to be the exhaust ports and blowing out of the intake ports. Obviously some folks trying to think outside the box! Must not have worked too well or we would be seeing a bunch of them. Certainly does keep the profile down though.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
