no you need a WHOLE DOHC engine. if you just pull the head, you will wind up with a 8.2:1 compression on the sohc pistions vs the 9.0~9.1 compression that a BP has.

you will need the whole engine. the ECU, if you are swapping to the "G" series tranny which is on the dohc, then you will need the axles out of a dohc protege.
