In my opinion, your average weekend warrior mechanic cannot tackle properly building a DOHC motor. I've seen it done several times, and shops charge significantly more for a DOHC build than an OHV build due to the time involved.


hm. you may be right on that one... DOHCs are pretty touchy...

Yeah i for one wouldn't mess with a Dohc Cobra motor. I have done a Few LT1's in some older 95 Impala's but i wouldn't do a 4v dohc motor. I have only completed about 1 yr of school and been working around cars for close to 10 yrs too.
