Hard to say. My guess is cost. The Mach 1 and Cobra heads are DOHC while the 3 valve is SOHC. Less sophisticated = less expensive. That...and a few trucks were already using the 3 valve heads. The '07 GT500 will have 4 valve heads, but it'll be on a 5.4L and the heads will be sourced from the Ford GT.
