don't forget the twincam coil and ignitor. you can use the sohc coil and ignitor if you change the plugs over to the single cam style, but its easier just to use the entire twin cam pieces etc.


the sohc power steering lines will work, I ran them on my dohc for a few weeks until they (like every nissan power steering hose from 1992 or older) started leaking like a SOB.

You'll also want to run a twin cam power steering resivoir, it will line up on the correct side of the motor without any problems etc.

The sohc condenser for the A/C will work fine, you will just have to have the line modified for the compressor. it's usually lots cheaper to have a line made than dig up and get a new condesnsor with new seals etc etc etc. Don't forget to replace the drier when you have the system discharged.


That SHOULD do it for ya, you can use either the sohc or dohc B pipe on the header, they are the same.
