SOHC to DOHC

This is a question for all of you SOHC to DOHC converters. How much work is it to change it over using the SOHC block? What do i need i know of course the head, throttle body, exhaust manifold (having a header built). Do i need injectors? I'm asking 'cus i'm gonna buy a 323 lx SOHC 1.8 (like i allready have in the pro thats why i'm gonna KL-ZE it) for 250 bucks it has a little rear end damage but very fixable. I wanna Turbo it eventually. I'm only gonna use it as a drag car so........ I called a few, well the 5 junk yards we have here in this crapilicoius town, and no one has a DOHC head and they wanna sell me the motor for 850 w/ 31,000 miles on it and another for 650 w/ 100,000 K, and the only other motor they have here they want 750 for. I called around for the RX-7 VAF they want 100 for that........hell they want 125 for the goddamn instrument cluster w/ tach. Overchargeing ******** here. But anyway just wondering how much everyone else is paying for this stuff, i would just buy the GTX but i can only do a little at a time as i have most of my money tied up in the pro. Thanks and PEACE
