It depends. If there is a DOHC engine available that uses the same bottom end as your SOHC engine, then you can use that DOHC head. Just make sure that there are sufficient valve cutouts on the pistons. If there ISN'T a DOHC head available for your block, then a full engine swap would be a better idea. But even if there is, a full engine swap may be a better and more cost-effective option.

Can you put a automatic dohc neon engine with sohc manual clutch?

Yes, they are the same exact blocks and transmissions for SOHC and DOHC. The only difference is the heads and flywheel. As far as I know, you just have to change the flywheel from the SOHC engine and put it on the DOHC motor. Just make sure to put on a new gasket. One more thing is being your putting a dohc engine into a sohc neon, you'll have to change the pcm to a dohc computer or it will run lean and possibly blow the engine. Hope this helps.


Can you put a dohc engine in a 3000gt base model?

the 1991 3000gt are dohc. it comes stock with 222hp. they also made sohc but that wasn't until later generations of the 3000gt's. The 1991 dodge stealths came in sohc, compared to the 91 3000gt's dohc. either way, with minor adjustments, it will fit from sohc to dohc.
