Don't know anyone apart from minitec for the sohc? Watsons and allspeed both cater for the dohc

Good choice of engine by the way

for the most part the DOHC engine mounts are the same for the SOHC. thus the same frame can be used. this is known from experience in swapping hondas, and not actually doing vtec mini builds.

keveric motorsport also do a "blank" subframe where you can fit any engine you like in (you just need to attach the engine mounts in)

well you should be able to use any dohc frame but i would call/email them first. because when you go from sohc to dohc in a honda all you have to do change is the mounts.
