For full features; Go to vauxhall cavalier 1.8i engine project
hi there im starting a project on my cavalier, well i want to and i was
just wandering,
i have a vauxhall cavalier 1.8i 1995 SOHC,
would i be able to convert this to a DOHC or cant it be done and is it
worth doing?
also im trying to think of engine modifications i could do to increase top
speed, acceleration and BHP, any ideas would be a big help,
also i think if i do convert to a DOHC what would be the best racing type
cams to put in? o was thinking of something from KENT CAMS but dont really
know much about modding as i am only 17 atm
thanks

I do not think this is worth the hassle.
It would probably just be easier to just buy a Cavlier that already has the
motor you want. At a minimum you would have to also swap out the computer
and you may even need swap out the wiring harness or do a lot of
modifications to the existing wiring.

It can be done quite easily, as DOHC engines were fitted to some Cavaliers
as standard. However, as Corbett says, it's easier to just buy a DOHC model
for a few hundred quid. I sense you want it as a project though, so buying
another car would defeat tyhe object really, lol.

No, I don't think, this is worth doing. It is waste of type as well as
money also.
