I remember seeing DeTomaso's SOHC version shown on the Deauville at one time. I suspect the bhp or torque outputs were either not notably higher than the OHV version or the expense was too high, Now, direct injection is an entirely different subject!

I have always loved my OHC engines and wondered what a 350, 351, or big
blocks could do with OHC heads.A It appears there was an answer to my
curiosity. Please keep me on this thread even in private replies.
That's cool.
