<VV> Early Firebird (No Corvair)

I think the OHC 6 block is missing all the lifter stuff, and as such, the  
top deck is narrower than the pushrod engine. 
Here's an article that says as much.
 
 _Hemmings  Motor News: The Pontiac Overhead-Cam Six_ 
(http://www.hemmings.com/hmn/stories/2007/01/01/hmn_feature25.html)  
 
Although based on the Chevy 6, the block was specific to the Pontiac OHC 6.

I  thought the OHC 6 block was unique? I do understand that a 292 crank  can  
be made to fit it, however.




If I remember correctly, at the time,the OHC 6 was built on the same  block 
as the Chevy 6 which was fairly new, replacing the old 235 and 261; at  least 
that's what the enthusiast magazines wrote. They showed pictures,  so I'm not 
just taking someone's word for it.
