the only way is to try and track down a crogdahle twin cam head.
but he stoped making them a few years back so you'll find it hard. also any one who has one will mega $$$$$ for it. |

i think it would be easier to try and fit a ba 6 in it (wich wouldnt be that easy) as its to high for the e series engine bay, modified bonnet will do the trick

The reason there is not many, if any, DOHC I6 heads to be found is that they produced no more power then a stock head could, so other then being different, it would be the biggest waste of money in chassing power.
Put a BA motor in, will be far cheaper easier, and more parts avalaible.

Do a google on "krogdahl dohc" for more info or whats left of it, they appear to be not doing business anymore.

If you got a BA half cut the ECU is now in the engine bay. Just use that.

you can't use it. it needs a signal from al the other other body control modules to work |

If you were keen had money and time a plenty a BA DOHC engine swap would be the go. The BA head will flow very well and the bottom end is good for 6000rpm. I guess you would just have to run without the vct control and advance up the cam or run custom profile cams to suit non activation of the VCT.
The engine height and sump may still be a problem though. All up you would be so much better off just getting your head ported and polished and fitted with a oversize exhaust valves. This would improve the flow a hell of a lot for a quarter the price or less |

will make the transplant a weekend affair. |
