SOHC head on DOHC zc block?

Since the DOHC zc block uses a Headgasket from a SOHC engine, would it be possible to have a SOHC head fit on the block. I am considering the swap because the ZC head doesn't allow me to put much modifications on it so i would be better off working with the SOHC head, also what are my options for the DOHC ZC engine?

Camshaft...
Headers...
Camgears...
Pistons...
Rods....
Ect. ect.

SOHC and DOHC engines have different head bolt patterns. One head bolt is off by about 1/4". They DO NOT share head gaskets and you CANNOT swap heads. If you don't believe me just go to a parts store and line them up. This has been discussed
