Actually GM pulled it off first with the old 3.9L OHV V6 used in the Pontiac G6 GTP (and maybe a couple other FWD cars, I can't remember) before replacing it with the DOHC 3.6L that they eventually put in everything.Honorable mention is the Dodge Viper engine in the 4th gen (2008) for having VVT on an OHV engine. And then again in 2013 for the 5th gen when they had VVT on both the exhaust and intake lobes. It took a few more years for GM to pull it off with the LT1.
As far as I recall, that 3.9 was the first cam-in-block engine with variable valve timing.
