isnt there some diff mounts you have to buy, i know barry toomanyneons on www.neons.org sells them or he use to not sur eif he does ne more.

[Ahhhh Nick!]

You need the 2.4 motor mount adaptor and the PT cruiser alternator bracket. Also gotta rewire the firing order on the coil pack.

Ditto. You must be doing a non srt swap cause I can't figure why you'd just use the bottom end

i wish i had the money to do the srt 4 swap or just have a srt 4 but i am just going to build it and i just need some help i have a sohc neon now so i just need the 2.4l block /dohc head and dohc ecu and thats it?

correction, you do NOT need the PT alternator brackets...I use 2.0L alternator brackets myself....but you do need to mount the lower bracket on the 2.4L block with just one bolt and one of the "arms" needs to be cut off, also I have done the SRT swap, believe me when I say its not all its cracked up to be...in fact its just one major PITA...needed for the 2.4 swap

2.4 engine(or at least the block if you are using the 2.0L head)
passengers side motor mount adapter
24lb/hr injectors or FPR/return line setup to use with stock 19lb/hr injectors
DOHC computer(also preferrably a DOHC wiring harness, but it can be done with the SOHC wiring harness...just more of a pain, just make SURE that the engine wiring harness and the body wiring harness are from the SAME YEAR, otherwise you will run into issues)
DOHC hood(alternatively you can use a SOHC hood if you cut out all the bracing...it should just barely fit...as far as aftermarket hoods...the only one I know will fit from experience is the keystone viper hood...though others may as well I have never used any)
PT crusier alternator brackets(alternatively 2.0L brackets can work with some modification)
2.0L DOHC intake and exhaust manifolds(alternatively some people use the stratus 2.4 intake manifold but they must somehow moved their radiator and fans forward to do so...but the 2.0L manifold is better)

things needing to be modified
wiring harness
transmission mount insert needs to be flipped
front motor mount needs a small section cut out of it
and with a 98 you will need to spice the older style bosch injector clips onto your wiring harness if you are using 24lb/hr injectors

Honestly just join neons.org if you look around you'll find everything you need to rather easily.

yeah what ^ said also think about your options 1st if you want it for boost you can just say with the 2.0 and do it with that and save a little money

DOHC 2.0 can use the srt4 turbo manifold so there is no need to do the swap

SOHC 2.0 need a turbo manifold which is not to pricey


I'm doing a sohc 2.0 on boost

your in for a bit of work if you do a 2.4 swap and it's your 1st time doing it

Neons.org will have the answers for you.... just remember once you get there use the SEARCH button

hey im selling mine just buy it and your completely done!!! it starts right up and drives finally. im taking offers and for the ending cost of the swap if your starting from just a block would only be a cople thousand less than buying my acr with a fully built 2.4 turbo nitrous motor or i have a 97 stratus 2.4 bottom end in my garage still that needs pistons/rods and a 95 computer/harness with the injector resistor pack already installed for $100

[got_bst?]

yeah buy his

yeah buy mine, honestly you can do it. i did it in 2 days and that was with everything fighting me the entire way. use the older 2.4 bottom end and this way you can buy srt parts which are readly ava and easy to get, use a dohc head/harness. you re-wire the harness for the injectors and coil but it is verry easy once you do it. its $60 for the passenger side mount, the rest you just modify your stock mounts which cost nothing but labor. i was surprised i never changed a motor and i got it done and startd...

[Runnin_that_skittle]

i have my bottom end i just need one piston and a fpr and the oil and water lines for the srt turbo and i dont know how to hook them up and thats it i just got a r/t tranny and i am getting energy suspension bushings and new tie rods and got a new clutch cryotreated i have a r/t pcm that i am going to use and i have a safc 2 might have a neo soon what is the redline and speed limiter on that pcm i think i want a af/x w/ cam gears for the turbo motor thats what i am runing now af/x race or if i can find a ms for cheap but i am not sure how to hook that up but i think i can figure it out
