I know plenty of people have toyed with the idea before, but what would it take to run DOHC heads on a pushrod block? My local junkyard has a '95 Monte Carlo with a blown bottom end that noone's noticed yet and it's hard to resist. I was thinking I could run a blower pulley off the crank to get things turning, but aside from that would I have to do any major oiling/coolant passage work? I'm guessing custom pistons would be in order as well. What do you think?

Increasingly I find the difference between a "fact" and an opinion is the number of people who believe it.

Dang, it could be done but what's the point. Too bad the one I found threw a rod.Increasingly I find the difference between a "fact" and an opinion is the number of people who believe it.

I placed a set of DOHC heads on a pushrod block, since I wanted to make a custom rocker set-up and retain the pushrod cam, but the problem was that at least half the lifters would have been right in the middle of an intake port, and running a tube through the intake port to seal the port and provide a pushrod path, just didn't seem like it was worth the effort.Comment
