Re: sohc to dohc engine swap
WELCOME TO AF.com!!!!!!
 Have you tried doing a search on this topic? I'll be nice ...unlike some others!!! Do a search first.  Just to sum it up for you.... From what I understand that type of swap is a bitch!!! FYI... it's called a 420A to 4g63 swap.

lol you might change this but just in case you dont. its actually a 4g37 to 4g63T swap. yes it is a pain in the ass. some people say its easy but they never can prove how they did it and they usually end up being 12 year olds with too much time  check out vfaq.com but just to start you off you will need at the least. engine wiring harness ecu possibly trans clutch flywheel starter turbo intercooler intercooler piping

4g63 swap
i myself a 93 eclipse that has a 1.8 and i have another that has a 2.0 and i have an extra engine with turbo for both of them. in order to do the swap you need: the ecu for your engine(turbo ecu if you plan on putting in a turbo);new transmission (the number is f5m33); driveshafts; wiring harness; the gauge cluster is different (1.8 redline= 6,000 rpm / 2.0 redline= 7,000 rpm); starter; plug wires; distributor and cap:different fuses for certain things; and last, lots and lots of time and money if you want it done right. if you have any questions or need any parts let me know. You can instant message me at cjackson217 and i know a good bit about the d.s.m. mods

Re: sohc to dohc engine swap
Just buy a turbo car if you want one.
