1.6 sohc to dohc?

[racing all the time]

Is it possible to convert a 1.6 sohc to a dohc. What is needed? thanks

Yes it is. It would probally be cheaper to swap your motor out for a BPD though.

the b6T is the easiest and cheapest route.

Check the 4cl FAQ.. make sure u view all active topics.

Remember that you'll need a hood scoop for the b6t though. The intake manifold doesn't allow you to shut the hood otherwise. Well,without scratching it up from what I've heard anyways.

Really yeah it would be a cheaper option but the biggest thing is just to find prices and see what is cheapest for the parts available.

True, and that's actually recommended, but I think that guy has a SOHC.

Wait...I thought it was better to do this with a sohc. When I considered putting a 94+ B6 in with B6T cams, rods, etc. in my 92, I was told that it would be a big hassle with wiring and so on.
So is it easier or less expensive to go this route, or to go with a BP?
I don't want to cheap out cause I don't want to have to pull a blown engine again later, which is why I want to take the winter and spring to do this.
So what's the deal?

The biggest raeson why i suggest the bp is it takes less tiem to drop in a diffrent motor than it takes to do a head job.
