Yah, but it's a half~hearted attempt. Not that it isn't a good motor, but compare that to an LS1 with the same SC and how much power would it make, or compared to something like a HP import engine or Motorcycle. 1400CCs and almost 200HP. GM didn't really take full advantage of the OHC on the Northstar.
