Combine that with parts from www.kgtrimning.com to make a real screamer
1) Big bore piston kit (from 2.0 liters to 2.2)
2) Stroker crank (from 2.2 to 2.4 liters)
3) 'Turbo' head - lower compression, big exhaust valve
4) Cam with characteristics more pertinent to forced induction
5) Knock sensing ignition system

Run 15 psi (or more) and have 250+ HP, most likely.

The flow characteristics of an OHC vs an OHV engine are a little less important when you are cramming the air in there by force.
