Forgive me if i'm not onto this but Isn't that basically what the LT5 was? fairly high-revving for its time and displacement reliable V8 that i heard was kinda peaky and made quite a bit of its power at the higher RPMs.
Lingenfelter has also made high-revving cammed LS and whatnot. i don't remember where i found the video.
Also feel like this thread is going to be nothing but shitposting come-morning and i'm probably jinxing it too. guess we'll see.

But user, Chevrolet's VLC is functionally identical to Honda's VTEC. Two cam lift profiles, and the ECU can switch between them using oil pressure.
The LT5 was completely different from the LT-generation small blocks. It featured DOHC, making it quite heavy, andexcept for the bore spacing, it shared nothing wth the other LT's.
Chevrolet made the old DZ302, which aftermarket builders like Lingenfelter have replicated. Used in trans Am and Formula 5000, it was a high-RPM screamer. Thing was safe up to at least 7000RPM - although they were used up to 8000RPM, which kinda hurt reliability. They competed with Ford's 302 and Mopar's 304 engines, all of them using 3'' strokes and ~4'' bores - really oversquare.

Show me a video of how vlc works..
I doubt it is efficient as vtec.

Variable cam timing is different to variable valve lift.
People get them confused.

I was thinking about this the other day:
>grab an LS block
>grab 2 K20A heads
>considering it is cam in block, there are no oem chainguides on the top like all OHC v8s
>make custom chainguides, using k20 parts, weld them to the block
>bolt one on the left side, bolt the other one on the right side rotate it it 180ยบ like in pic, so you don't need to make a custom mirrored head
the main problem is bore spacing as its different
maybe a smaller rover v8 might work

That happened though.

Is VLC a thing?
I can't find anything on the internet about chevrolet VLC.
