Need a Spot
I am going to help a friend with replacing his SOHC engine with a JDM DOHC version in a 95 Rodeo.

Anyone know if the ECU will support the DOHC engine?

Has anyone else tried this swap?

Great.... Thanks for the info. Now I feel a lot better about the swap.

I'll post the finished product.

Not sure how I missed the post from last year during my search of the board.
