KA head on an L4 bottom?

I bet a lot of you guys have seen the L6 DOHC head that is being made by 1_fast_z, by cutting a couple KA24 heads into thirds... In theory the oil and water passages line up, am I correct? I know the combustion chamber spacing is the same as an L engine. So besides the timing chain issue, what stops you from putting KA head, on an L16/L18/L20b?

If it's going to stay a 4 cylinder, why not just use the KA block and have the extra displacement? Yes the stroke is long but the extra CC's would add alot of needed torque.

I know some one is Australia has done the non DE head - so I am sure a DE should be do-able.

 

See http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=112888&highlight=ka24+head for more links to this conversion.

 

DAW is correct the L20B crank in he Z20/Z22 block would be the way to go. I was thinking about this for one of my projects but I have purchased a CA18DE for that now.
