The OHC Inspiration!
As with other performance-focused GM efforts like the Cosworth Vega
and Pontiac GTO, the OHC 6 story begins with John DeLorean.
And just like he did with the GTO and Vega, DeLorean looked to
Europeansports cars. He noted that cars like the Jaguar E-Type were
powered by engines running overhead camshafts. This OHC design not
only reduced the number of moving parts in the engine, it improved
valvetrain performance and allowed for better valve sizing and
spacing, which often meant a wider usable rev range and improved
flow.
Always the engineer, DeLorean sought to develop a similar overhead
cam engine that could create V8 power with less cylinders, in a
lighter, more compact package!
