O’boy! You really don’t want to do that as most of the internal parts will need to be switched out. Finding the parts and the cost really doesn’t make it worth it. I would look for a used dual CPU system is you have your heart set for one.

Frankly, upgrading your system to a ATX logic board would be a better investment in my mind as you can get a i9 board for less which will even beat the best dual CPU based systems this system had Mac Pro Case Mods, Z490 Vision D with 10900K

Conversion: MacPro Mac Pro ATX conversion & TonyMacx86 - macOS support
