I'm assuming a 2.5 DOHC would not work in a 2.5 SOHC vehicle or would it???

 

Thanks

No. It will not.

 

The USA/USDM Non-turbo DOHC 2.5 engines prior to '00  were the older Phase 1 version ('99 was transistion year and had Phase 2 blocks but used Phase 1 for everything else), and the electronics/sensors were not compatible. You 'could' technically use the short block, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's new/rebuilt as used ones were probably overheated and/or the rod bearings  worn out.

 

And the newer ('11+) FB25 are also DOHC but not compatible either.

 

GL.
