ok well i drive a 420a eclipse, and i was reading up on how 420a neons are swaped with the 2.4 turbo PT cruser/srt4 motor. and wanted to know if anyone knows if this same swap would work on my eclipse? and what would need to be done?

 

no, the neons dont have 420a's, they have similaritys but u cant swap the 2.4 into ur eclipse w/o major mods,


the neon motors head is better designed and is opposite of the 420a(the header in the back and intake mani in the front)

 

are you sure, I thought the a588 was intake in front exhaust in rear?

 

yes im sure, but ive never heard of the a588, wtf is that? lol, the neon engine codes are like de5a or something,, i cant ever remember exactly tho

 

the a588 is the chrysler engine code for the very similar 420A. The head is on backwards in the eclipse, because the intake is normally on the front. You could do the swap but it would not be something to do over the weekend.

 

yes, you can drop the srt-4 motor in your eclipse.

 

Post pics and info... all I've seen is Evo 8 motors swapped into 420a based Eclipse's.

 

no u cant, ur a dumbass, they have totally different mounts and you would have to custom fab everything. its just like putting a 4g63 into a neon, it calls for alot custom fab work.

 

You the guy that need someone to install a clutch for him.

Have you tryed this swap?

 

^wtf are u talking about installing a clutch? i was selling a clutch, and no i havent tryed it but its pretty apparent, theres different mounts, different axles, its from a completely different car manufacturer(s/p), its like the 4g63 thing, it can fits but it involves alot of custom fab. and its not worth the work.
