Theoretical Head Question

Just was wondering if any GM DOHC heads can physically fit on the GEN I SBC block? I know it would be hell to fabricate a setup to replace the cam/pushrods/etc, but all I'm wondering is will the heads themselves fit? Bolt patterns, coolant passages, etc...

Pete Ardema made an OHC conversion for stock chevy heads. (single). And there was also a three valve head from some other company. Not cheap though.
