1g 4g63 head on a 4g64

[lumpybeans]

Can anyone tell me if i can put a 2.4 galant sohc head on a dohc motor? thanks

The title says a dohc on a 4g64-yes you can

But your post says sohc on a 4g63? why would you do that anyways.

Sorry trying to deal with kids and type at the same time. i have a 90 Plymouth Laser with a 2.0 dohc non turbo engine in it. i built the car last year for circle track racing. This year they have changed the rules and i have to run a sohc engine. Was wondering if i could put a sohc 2.4 head on the 2.0 dohc engine? Or could i swap a 2.4 motor in this car. i want to stick with a 6 bolt motor but this year i really want to make the guys cry when i fly by them! Just trying to figure out what my options are. I WANNA GO FAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.4 Motor 4g64 from the 3rd gen?

I think the car my husband found is like a 94 or 95. Sorry just got my 2.0 figured out and now trying to learn about these.

I also have a 90 laser with a 1.8 in it, but i didn't know if it had any potential to kick butt also. I am running against Dodge Neons this yaer and a couple of ford probes. The neon is what won the points last year in this class. I would love to race what i have, but they have eliminated my class so i have to drop down a class. I put up a couple of pics if you go to view my public profile just so you can get a better idea of what i have.

You can use a 4g64 from a mighty max pick up truck.

So if they dropped your class what size engine are you limited to for the new class?

There is a sohc 4g63 came in the older galants just use that head. The 4g64 head is different. Or if your slick you could swap to the whole 4g64 engine no one will know it looks the same and has more power.

This would be your best bet, especially for circle track racing. The extra torque down low would really help you get the jump on the other cars on the start and coming out of the turns. If the tech crew is really sharp, they might notice the difference in the block's stamped ID code; that's where a grinder (to remove the code), belt sander (to resurface the pad) and a set of stamps of the correct size (to restamp the block with the codes from your old block) will come in handy. Of course, the true likelihood is that they wouldn't have a clue!

I am supposed to use a sohc engine. I have so much money in building my dohc motor i would rather use that block if posible with a sohc head. Instead of having to build a whole new one.

Grab a block out of a first gen expo van or a 87>89 Hyundai elantra thoes are for sure 2.4s with the correct engine mount attach for the 1G the only bummer is they are 2valve per cylinder heads. But what I was thinking was a lot of the colts with 1.5s had a 3 valve per cylinder head. I guess the easy way to find if it would bolt up would be to get a head gasket off the 1.5 and compair it with the 4G63 gasket.

I have seen them in the junkyard but have not paid a lot of attintion to them but if it worked and if anyone made aftermarket parts for it that would be one beast coming off the turns.

Good luck and happy hunting.

I ment HuundI Sonata insted of Elantra. Sory for any confusion.
