Alright, I have two DEs sitting in my garage. One from my old coupe with a blown head gasket and a low mileage s14 DE in good running shape. I also have the power steering lines for the conversion, which I do not really need to use....Question is: should I dump a couple hundred to complete the DE swap using parts from both motors, or keep the healthy well running SOHC? I am quite satisfied with my sohc, and I enjoyed having a dohc, but neither compare to big displacement, or forced induction. Is it worth the headache for 10-20 hp?

if the sohc is running fine, then leave it be....

if its just a dd and you dont really plan to build it then no, its not worth it.
