Firstly, I know all about the OHC, DOHC engines, but IIRC they require matching blocks (which isn't a huge delta from a head, cost and shipping wise), but they're a bugger to get here. I have a coworker in class with me from the islands, and have been thinking if I want to make a bulk buy over there in prep for an expected trip to Aus/NZ to ship home depending on cargo container costs.
Secondly, I have a hot rodder heart (and I'm a dreamer), which makes me want to do things like not leave well enough alone. The idea of fabbing up a tempest 'style' OHC conversion (not retrofitting actual pontiac parts) would be because I could, not because there wasn't a more cost effective option currently available. I have an 87 EFI crossflow in the garage, and I'm fairly confident it would get marginally better power with significantly lower cost than engineering something new.
I admit, though, there's naught more awesome than a DOHC 4V.
