SOHC to DOHC
 
I have a 2003 Civic Ex 1.7L SOHC.
Was wondering if it would be possible to convert it to a DOHC and if so would it be worth it?

are you talking about the car? like doing a swap. That can be done. The engine will always be a SOHC

Not without swapping an entire motor, no

thats called an engine swap. Theres no way to keep the same block and just put another cam in there, making it a DOHC. You gotta take your whole engine out and replace it with a new DOHC one.

Why would you ever want to swap out the massive engine you have in right now?! Hahahaha I feel your urge to get that engine out and go for broke.
