If you see "OHV" in the specs of a vehicle, this typically means that the engine has the camshaft in the block. While OHC (SOHC or DOHC) engines are over-head valve engines, they aren't typically listed as such and are simply stated as OHC/SOHC/DOHC.

Over-head valve does refer to both types of engines, but "OHV" has come to infer "cam-in-block" design.
