I didn't misread the thread. I turned it into a raceoff as a joke because if you casually read the thread, it looks like you two were dissing each other....so....shutup and race!

Sorry to be too subtle with my humor. I'll go play with my "stock" car now....

 

LOL read the whole thread and you all are quite knowledgeable being said i want advice. so my 95 sohc i should leave alone and but dohc pistons in it and a dohc pcm and then get a tune cause at my college unoh i can tune my vehicle would this be my best bet plus my alum underdrive header full straight piped exhaust to a muffler and a cold air no power steering or a/c i should be puttin down a lil power right?

 

All those mods sound good, save the dohc pcm. It does have a different spark and fuel curve that is useful, but the extra fuel is not necessary. Save that for last. The neon runs rich as it is.

 

sweet thanks much i also found a cheap throttle body spacer also do those help alot on the neons?

 

Certainly is not going to hurt. Run it.

 

So ive read this thread and I have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to put a DOHC neon head on a 2000 SOHC block?

and

2. If it is possible could I use the DOHC intake manifold with it?

 

i just did that swap but my block is from a 2001 acr and the dohc head is from a 98 r/t so no problems with valves but i have not lost compression if any thing ive gained no i dont plan on turbo my car but if you want to do a dohc on a sohc block find a 2000 - 2005 acr or r/t block **** can the 95-99 sohc block for all motor apps

 

You can't use 2003+ blocks in 1st gen neons without significant work.

gpc31, there is no difference between a SOHC block and a DOHC block. The difference is the pistons. There is a difference between the heads. So yes, you can use a DOHC head on a 2000 block and you would have to use the DOHC intake and exhaust manifolds along with it.

 

Doing the DOHC head on the SOHC block at home now. Thanks for this thread folks. It's been a HUGE help!

 

do i change from a sohc to dohc during a head swap from a sohc to dohc
, and is there a rpm curve difference in the two pcm's?
