Dohc to SOHC conversion

[1QK4DR]

What would it take to convert a 2.2 16Valve Turbo 3 to a 2.2 or 2.5 liter Turbo SOHC motor? (Wiring/Fuel management)

I'm going to proceed with the T3 rebuild but this maybe the last time I do it,lol. Yes I have too much $$$ in the car and I just want to drive it. A SOHC motor is so much easier and cheeper to find parts for. I just want to know what I'll need to make the conversion.

BTW the Spirit has a Rebuilt trans, New Turbo, brakes, Rotors, Swaybar bushings, Radiator, Fan, Volvo Intercooler, Clutch, Shifter Cables,Hood Cable, Exhaust w/cat, tires, wheels, Stereo, and Oil Pump + maintence items such as belts and what not. I love the T3 when it's running but I have became more practical and I will go with a more reliable car or motor to mess with.

you should just sell it and buy two 8 valve cars! then you would have a daily driver and a project car!

hehe, I don't think my fiance will understand more cars,lol. I have a 8 valve Volvo but even though it has a aftermarket cam and exhaust it's still slow. I'm trying to leave this one alone but there is a guy in town going to put a chevy 355 twin turbo in his 1989 volvo 240 this year and said he'd sell me his turbo 2.3 liter B230 volvo motor set up cheep and it's eating away at me because the volvo is my DD.
