swap question

i have a sohc and i found a dohc engine with low miles for $900, i was wondering would i be able to use my sohc tranny with the dohc, also what else would i need for the swap, i know the ecu and i know how the dohc has coilpacks and the sohc has a distributor...or should i just get my sohc engine rebuilt??my sohc ticks sometimes and i cant determine why so i just though of doing a swap or rebuiliding but it runs good but it will tick sometimes and then it will go away... i don't know but when i hear it i hate it, i just want a reliable engine.... wut should i do??

Re: swap question

I'm pretty sure the transmissions are the same.. Do you have ATX or MTX?

Re: swap question

Transmissions are the same.
