Anthony, I think a lot of people have wondered why they built those heads that way. Especially people looking to improve them. What they should have done was to mass produce the Cammer. Make all the FE engines OHC. Perhaps had they done that maybe the FE cammer would have been the engine of choice for top Fuel instead or the Chrysler Hemi. 30 years of aftermarket product development and maybe the FE would have been the King of all big cube racing engines.
But they didn't do that, they made the 385 series engines instead, better than the FE but still not up to the performance of the BB Chevy and Hemi.

Time to close all this FE talk over here.
