i need one fast, but im not looking to spend a hell of alot....otherwise i will just keep the car a sohc..
if anyone has one they want to get rid of then let me know asap.
thanks

 

I found this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-do...spagenameZWDVW

It does not say if it is ATX or MTX, however.

 

i found that one this morning....i asked the guy about it and he said its for an auto...so i might go with that if i do the swap

 

I have one for sale. Let me know.

 

Ahh wait. It may be a sohc after I think about it. I will check and let u know asap.

 

I have a95 DOHC ATX pcm for sale let me know what u want to pay for it.

You will lose compression if you put a dohc on a sohcblock, the sohc pistons are dished slightly and the dohc head has a bigger cc chamber so you'll lose a good 10hp, defeating the purpose of a dohc head.A 95 sohc kicks *** i raced a mtx in minefrom a 20mph roll and took him like a s-o-b today I "dusted" that ****. dohc's overrated in stock form, I've yet to ride in a fast nearstock dohc. Mine wasn't fast till I had the damn thing gone through and crane 18's thrown in.

 

i know all about the piston differences, but im not worried about alot of power.....its just a beater/work car.....i wont be doing a dohc head swap to gain anything....
my reasoning is because the sohc head that was on it had the coolant ports pretty deteriorated and they were clogged up pretty bad (looked like sumone just kept loading it up with liquid headgasket repair)......im thinking of the easiest way to spend less money since i alredy have a dohc head and everything to swap it over besides the pcm.....if i keep it a sohc then i will need to buy a new head, but i need to call a guy today and see how much he wants for 1....

besides....i just dont really like sohc's....never really been a fan of them[:'(]

 

ok i just got off the fone with a guy....looks like i will be keeping it a sohc since he is gonna sell me a complete sohc motor for $75.....
im gonna swap the head onto my motor and then eventually get dohc pistons for the bottom end and do a nice stock rebuild so i have a backup motor for me or the wife

 

Clean the exhaust ports up with a dremel drill and your sohc will pull strong up to the redline, the main downfall of the sohc head is the casting flash on some heads in the exhaust ports. Also the intake manifold is designed for a lower rpm range so you can't really blame the head design on a inefficient intake manifold. But seriously if you do a minor cleaning job on the exhaust ports of the sohc it will be a huge improvment. I cleaned my head up yesterday while the motor was still in the car and the gains were very instant and noticable.

Without comparing it to a dohc you'll think this motor is a snappy little sob.

 

&lt\\;P&gt\\;i dont need to do anything to the sohc since its just a work car....the thing could be a slug and i wouldnt care....by no means does it need to be fast or i would be doing a mtx swap along with a dohc complete motor swap.....hell the car is even gonna be different colors.....its just a beater gas saver so i dont really care....&lt\\;BR&gt\\;if this was gonna by my go getter car then i wouldnt have even considered getting a sohc....let alone an auto&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&lt\\;BR&gt\\;i have discovered in my days that its pointless to supe up a neon......thats what my valiant is for&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;i guess this may have sounded kinda ignorant now that i re-read it.....but thats not the way its supposed to sound....i know more about these cars then you may think&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
