DOHC, VTEC Head Swap
I've got a 3rd gen Prelude, a 1990 Inx.
I was hoping it was the 140hp DOHC model, but it's not, it's the 110hp SOHC.
I was wondering, how hard is it to swap a DOHC head on, or how about a VTEC head (I'm guessing that would require new electronics which I wouldn't be happy doing)
I've just started a mechanical course, so have access to pullies, tools, etc, is this something a newbie could do?
How much could I get a head for from the auto wreckers?
How long would a head swap take, 4 hours? More?
