I was wondering if anyone has put the DOHC cylinder head on one of the old SOHC engines, and if you need to change anything other then the ECU.any info anyone has would be great.

I was told that you can't do it. The blocks are drilled differently or somthing so the head will not fit......there are differences that do not make them interchangable. When I rebuilt my engine one of the guys that worked there purchased my old one to put in his Stanza(??..i think) and he said there was something different about the blocks so it wouldn't fit...even though they were both KA24E motors. He wants me to buy it back now.

from what i know the coolant and/or oil ports will not match up, but the bolts for your head will (?) weird. Any way the bottom ends are virtually the same...
