umm sorry i knoiw a little about neons im into them and work on them. sorry i didnt buy one already fast, if you knew anything about them you would know that a 2.4 swap is the most common swap for a 1st gen neon.(2.4=same as srt but not factory built) and yah modification is needed it wont bolt into place,but if your as smart as you think you would know they sell kits so a 2.4 will bolt right in.and i would hope your not dumb enough to try to use a stock tranny on a 2.4, so being able to put a better one is required. its a giving installing an srt motor would be better because then you dont half to built it up seeing its already meant for turbo boost,have you ever seen stock neon axels they will snap easy if you put alot of power to them and why dont you just put the srt computer and wire harness in?so why am i a retard because i knew what i was talking about? haha screw you dumbass
