Except for the fact that this site's basic information says it's DOHC.

Anyways, Super is right. You can compare them if you want, but really they are two totally different motors. It would be different you were comparing a 3SGE and 3SGTE, because the differences are more specific, but comparing the 5SFE and 3SGTE you get too many differences and some of them are really vague because that's the only way to describe them.
