i recently talked to some kid from Michigan with a 2.0SOHC neon, he said i should switch my head to an eclipse head so it switches my exhaust and intake around.... he said it will bolt right up with no modification, just a longer pipe for exhaust. Is this true? will my connectors, ignition coil, and everything else fit? and would my pistons hit the valves since the valves off of that head are different and its DOHC mines SOHC.... Should i do it or is he talking shit to sound smart cuz to me that doesn't seem like it would work AT ALL!!!!

What would be the point?

The DOHC neon head would be a better idea. The only reason for the Eclipse head would be for crazy FI applications.

I've seen an avenger head done but on an srt. The point is so you can plant a bigger Turbo (or 2) on the front of the motor and not have clearance issues. As far as pistons meeting with valves, I dont know but this would be the same as any dohc swap.
The eclipse was a 420a motor which is pretty much the same as the 1gn motors. But that's as much as I know and im probably wrong about something

short version, it can be made to work but no it isn't a simple bolt on.

ya see he said it would increase my horse by 30hp easy and make switching my headers/turbocharger out EASY! i told him i didnt think so but i would ask around... well thanks alot guys thats all i needed to know you can delete or lock this post now

as far as gains not sure, gives you more possibilities from what ive heard/read. itll also drop your compression if im not mistaken.
