Default SOHC => DOHC compatibility questions. 95 SC1/93 SC2


Hey everyone. I have a few questions relating to the engine swap I'm about to take on.

Before anyone yells, yes, I did search, but couldnt find the specific answers I'm looking for, however from what I did read, it looks like this may just be a straight across swap.

What I'm looking at is this: I just purchased a 95 SC1 tonight with a bad bottom end. My donor car is going to be the 93 SC2 that I've had for the past hundred years. The SC2 has seen much better days and it's time to retire it.

Both cars are Manual trans. What I'm wondering is if anyone can forewarn me of any compatibility problems I'm going to run into. I beleive that both cars are OBD-1, so that should make things relatively easy.

Anything I will need to do with wiring? Is there any splicing or harness swapping involved? The SC1 has a different cluster and whatnot, am I looking at a PITA there or not?

Also, both cars are complete and streetable, is there anything else from the SC2 that I should be swapping over or is everything pretty much the same?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not aware of any differences, but I'm no expert.

The SC2 has a rear anti-sway bar that the SC1 doesn't - you could swap the rear suspension for better handling.
