HELP !! Can you covert a sohc to dohc?eaglesplyer66 02-01-2007, 09:19 AM :smokin::smokin:hey guys long time no speak i was curious if you can convert the 2.0 sohc to a dohc by swapping heads and if you cant do that can you put the dohc intake on the sohc head?? Thanks neonguy97 das2123 02-03-2007, 11:50 AM Yes you can, the blocks are identical. You will need the following: Used Parts you can get are: (from a DOHC of course) *Head with cams and valvetrain *Intake manifold *Exhaust manifold (or DOHC header) *Intake assembly (why not go with an Iceman or 3.0L intake?) *EGR valve tube *Pistons (you can use SOHC pistons, but you will lose compression) *Fuel rail and injectors *Passenger side motor mount bracket *Valve cover *Cam gears *PCM for your year of car, 95, 96, or 97-99 (why not get a Mopar PCM?) *Power bulge hood or cut the bracing out of your current SOHC hood. *You can opt for the dual radiator fans, but I don't think you need them even if you have A/C New parts you should get will be: *DOHC Headgasket kit *Timing belt/timing belt covers (if you want them) *Timing belt idler pulley *Plastic thermostat housing *Upper radiator hose *Camshaft position sensor *Spark plug wires *Head bolts *New gaskets where you will need them. *I'd also suggest changing the water pump while you are at it, along with the new timing belt and tensioner pulley You will also need to extend the 3 CTS (coolant temp sensor) wires so that they reach it's new location. And no, you can't use a DOHC intake manifold on a SOHC head. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
