I heard that if you switch the top of the 2.4 sohc engine with the 2.0 dohc it would give you a significant hp boost, is this true?

You will get about 120-125 hp gain from that. Do it. Do it.
Do it.
Do it.

No, it will not give you a significant boost in "hp". Although you will have a DOHC head instead of SOHC, it's not that big of a gain unless you're going turbo.

The DOHC is way better flowing than that goofy SOHC shit. You wont get a shit ton more power just by doing it, but you will get more out of your mods.

I dont believe that the GST head will fit on your car....the motor in your car now is a 420A motor...which is a chrysler motor that is mostly used in the Neon....and GST's have a 4G63 motor which is a Mitsubishi motor and they are completly differant....

He drives a spyder with a 2.4 motor in it. A GST head would fit on that car's motor. And just the head itself no cams and such, is about 250 bucks for one completely reworked like new.

The Non-spyder RS/GS models from 95-99 had the 420A, which is a Chrysler motor.

The only way it would be worth it at all would be if you dropped a ton of money into building the whole motor and turbocharging it. Even then, I don't know if I would mess with swapping the heads. Theres probably a bunch of machine work to be done in order to make it fit the block properly. :2cents:
