A little different...
Seems a bit useless considering that with the DOHC heads the motor is as big and heavy or nearly as big and heavy as a big block. However, I am all for unique swaps so this one would definitely fall under the unique category.
the problem with the mod motors is they are incredibly large, not to mention i doubt too many guys with a first gen is thiinkin "Hey instead of something easier, cheaper, lighter, and better, not to mention gm, ill go put a ford engine in!!!!" Next to the scale of ls1 swaps very very few mod motors are swapped for those reasons and others.

Why don't you put a 12" lift on it, 44" super swampers, and convert it to 4wd while you're at it..? 
just kidding. I'm no purist, but that kinda takes the cake for pointlessness. It's an inferior FORD product. you'll not only **** off most chevy people, i'm sure ford people will be equally distressed seeing the car it's in.
I'd put a 32v corvette motor (LT5?) or a Northstar in it if you're looking for DOHC or something different...

it would be stupid. LS1 is cheaper and with a maggie on it it would make more hp, even without forged internals.
if you wanted the DOHC stuff an LT5 ZR1 motor would be the most expensive route you could go... a 4.6 northstar would be a better choice for a 4.6 32v motor, and in the STS-V there is a supercharged version producing 450 hp, and its factory intercooled, so if you wanted to drop a bunch of money onto a swap for no apparent reason, other than being unique, just buy a crate SC northstar

Aluminum 427 BBC, cool, LS1, cool, 383, cool.. Nobody puts an ecotech 4 banger into a mach 1 fastback, nobody puts a flathead ford into a 'hemi cuda. Some things were just meant NOT to be. I sincerely believe this is one of them.

The "arent smart enough to work on OHC motors" is plain BS. OHV engines are cheap to modify, make good power, lighter, and less expensive than their big-headed counterparts. Yeah, i'd like 32V DOHC V8, but I dont wanna buy 4 cams to mod the thing, search desperately and pay premiums for performance parts, and have a brick in the front of my car. I'll keep the "Low RPM" LSx engine.
And as for "people put GM motors...", suggesting GM only has engines with pushrods, last I checked, GM has quite a few...
3.6, Northstar, LT5 zr1, ecotec, 24V HFV6, (An excellent engine when turbo'd).. the 2.8 version..
get your facts straight before you insult the intelligence of board members, especially seeing as yours seems below par.

Your an idiot for thinking the northstar is an engine worht using for anything other than a boat anchor... Junk. Heaven for bid someone comment positively on a Cobra motor, I seen more of them daily driven and lasting with 700hp then ls1s so get off it. No one here would ever give a good comment for a cobra motor, so We both know the only reason he posted was to fire people up. So stop with the personal attacks... they are both good motors, it would be neat, but why stop there, put a viper motor in it.
