It depends on which two engines you're talking about...

If the supercharger is integrated into the intake manifold of the DOHC engine... and the two engines the DOHC and SOHC are based on the same engine block series (example the mitsbuishi 4G block with the 4G63 being a DOHC and the 4G69 being the newer Mivec SOHC) , and if the cylinder head shared the same intake manifold bolt pattern...

If all of those things were true, then yes it is possible

So if the supercharger is integrated into the intake manifold... first thing you should do is go to an auto parts store and compare the intake manifold gasket from the SOHC engine to the intake manifold gasket from the DOHC engine... if the two gaskets, port holes, and bolt holes line up perfectly then you know that the supercharger and manifold will bolt up to your engine head.

The other part of this is belt routing ...

Even engines that have the same engine block sometimes have different auxilliary parts on them such as a different sized water pump pulley, a different mounting point for the alternator or power steering pumps ... as well as other optional equipment like smog pumps ...etc

So the same engine block coming in a SOHC and DOHC package might have different belt routing, different engine bay clearances ...etc which may or may not allow you to properly take off a belt drive to drive the supercharger, even if it bolted up to the engine pay or to the cylinder head properly.

So those are the two points you have to research:

1- Bolting it on (weather it's in the manifold or in the bay bolted onto the engine block itself but separate from the manifold)

2- Belt routing

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 head on a sohc block?

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 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.
