Yes. it's possible. All you need is
a) a 4G63 DOHC from an automatic (the manual crank is I think different on
manual), the compatible ECU (its different for the DOHC), and probably the
air filter components from the DOHC. You can use a 4G63 from any source
(Galant, Eclipse).

b) the schematics for your car and the donor car / engine to adjust the
wiring as may be necessary. There's likely some variations in between the
SOHC and DOHC configurations.

c) The DOHC needs to be checked out for compression etc. Replace both belts
and water pump while the engine is out. The front top engine mount bracket
is different for the DOHC.

d) A DOHC front pipe if the SOHC pipe is different. You MAY be able to use
the SOHC exhaust manifold on the DOHC head.

e) There may be minor differences in the rad hoses.


Have a look at my website for issues with engine swaps.
