97 Saturn SL1 with cracked SOHC head- can I do a DOHC engine conversion?

My in-laws just bought a 97 SL1 with 1.9 SOHC engine and auto trans. It runs great but has coolant in the oil and oil in the coolant. What I have read on the internet is that these SOHC heads are notorious for cracking.

I found a complete 1.9 DOHC engine at a pull a part yard for just $140 and I have heard that the DOHC heads aren't prone to cracking. Can I put the 1.9 DOHC engine in the SOHC car or would I have ECM/wiring and trans bolt up issues?
