Default SOHC CONVERSION?

I have a 96 Mustang GT and i was wondering if i can convert the SOHC engine into a DOHC engine. Is that possible. And if it is what things do you replace?

It requires way to much to convert. It is cheaper to just buy a dohc and make the neccesary changes to the wiring harness.

btw it has 56k miles and is guranteed for 90 days,and that also includes the computer and all wiring, i plan on doing all the labor myself but a garage would probably charge you around 1500 maybe

Check out www.car-part.com for a salvage yard near you. I did the swap a year ago let me know if you have any ?'s
also check out this thread that was started in July of 05. I put a list of other things that need to be changed.
