Pontiac overhead cam

["Watry, Andrew (LNG-SFR)" <Andrew.Watry@domain.elided>]

The Pontiac overhead cam engine was an SOHC engine, not DOHC.  I want to say
1965ish is when it was introduced (in the Le Mans?), but my reference
magazines are at home and I am at work.   I don't think it was a raging
success.
For their own inscrutable reasons, Car and Driver's editors dumped one of
those engines into a Jaguar XKE in place of the twin-cam Jag engine in the
late 60s or early 70s and then tested it on a drag strip.
