Wait, so you wanna put a DOHC engine in ur stealth? If so, I don't think it'll be that much of a B*** but it may just be an all day project, I mean just get the engine sizes off of like autoconsumer guide as a rule of thumb, and if they're pretty close (which I think they are) in size, than you shouldn't have too many problems, but I'm not the expert here, talk to like Igovert500 or yogsVR4

Wassup Rocker? No, everything you said was correct , the only issue I'd consider is if the ECU is the same and the motor mounts, thats why I mentioned welding, he might have to cut out the stock mount points and reweld new ones to fit the DOHC. either way I'm sure there is someone here that know more detail about it that I.
