Default SOHC to DOHC Question

I know people who have swapped heads on cars like hondas and toys to change the cams but can i do this on the SOHC? I want to know if i can swap out the head from a DOHC to my SOHC to make it DOHC??

Yes you can. HERE is a link to what you will need. You will need this stuff along with all new gaskets and new head bolts.
ORIGINAL: spudsterier

intake manifold
exhaust manifold
timing belt
thermostat housing(if the manifold doesnt come with it)
passenger motor mount bracket
timing belt cover(front and rear)
cam sensor
pistons/rods

should be it...unless you dont wanna modify the hood...then you need one of them too

No, it just had more info about swapping to a DOHC head in it.
