Default Maybe A Stupid question b16 head on d16??????

is there any way to convert a SOHC to a DOHC be replacing the head and the ecu, is that possible or would it be cheaper to just get a whole new engine?

Sorry, I wish it was that easy, 2 different types of engines. You can always go FI on the SOHC.

no way, no how...one has only one cam hence: SINGLE over head cam, and the other has two cams hence:.....well, you catch my drift. so the valve cover is totally different. just look the spark plug wires.

There are some engines that will let you put a DOHC on a SOHC.. such as a SOHC 4G64 2.4L Galant motor for a DSM.. Great for a stroker... (Off topic just was stating.. hehe).
