Please clarify....

What engine to change from SOHC to what DOHC etc ?

It IS possbile on some blocks - IE D series SOHC to DOHC. . . .there is ONLY 1 variant of DOHC block in dseries tho ( zc / d16a8) and i am unsure exaclty if this will fit at all to other SOHC D series blocks....

You cannot put a DOHC B series head ( Vtec etc) on a SOHC engine block that i understand....

The only way one can answer yes is if you replace the whole D series engine and transplant it with a B series DOHC engine.

That has a SOHC-VTEC engine I presume?

Probably not worth chaning over to a DOHC non-VTEC head in that case.

I think you'll find it less greif to simply do an engine swap...
Beware of creating an orphen...
