The Aragona cars have had a Mopar DOHC four recently, which I think is the same as a Mitsubishi. They also made a Subaru engine work very well.

Ackerman had a splayed-valve Chevy head on what I believe is a Pontiac Super Duty block

Charlie Greco's Opel that was driven by Dave Yediny had a combo similar to Ackerman's, but his Cobalt has a custom made block, also with a splayed-valve head.

Tony. Frank Aragona uses a 4 cylinder push rod motor (similar to the LA motor). Nothing resembles the DOHC Mopar motors. I run a 150 cube DOHC Modified production motor in my Superstocker SS/GS.
I believe the DOHC motors can be competitive at around 135 cubes. If you can get a car light enough.
