Brainfarting a combo

The 2002 j bodies came with both a vin 4 push rod and vin F OHC. The pushrod block is steel and comes with a roller cam and rockers with a heavy crankshaft. The OHC block is aluminum, crankshaft is lighter and knife eged and will turn more rpm faster. It also has 1 point more compression. On a wheel dyno OHC motor was 40 hp better. I feel the OHC motor was easyer to get hp out of. Also trans gear ratos are better with OHC stick . Tom
