Question Dodge Stratus r/t 3.0L intake manifold on 2.5L?

Can I put the mitsubishi 6g72, 3.0L intake manifold from a stratus r/t on my 2.5L 6g73 Avenger? It looks pretty similar. Has anybody done this?

what engine is the 3.5, mitsubishi or chrysler? and what cars have it? is it an easy swap where i can just bolt it in and connect the wires/intake?

AND,

the 3.0 intake manifold will work for sure? is that an easy swap?

Thanks again

there is no advantage on the 3.0 manifold swap ... it uses the same TB///
A manifold spacer from Cheetah provides a better performance/longer runners and heat isolation
The 3.5 is a whole lot of fabrication and work.the gains come from larger TB and longer runners I'm waiting for complete info before I try this one , folks are having troubles yet

The only reason i want the 3.0L is because it is eaiser to get at the junkyard i go to because the avengers there have really bad front end crashes. there is a stratus with a 3.0L that will be eaiser to get. I plan on painting it chrome red with metalcast, not for performance. i dont want to have to worry about it being off my car and unable to drive, i just want to take my time, otherwise i would just use my 2.5 manifold. So the 3.0 is the same as the 2.5 and i can just bolt it in and connect it up?
i plan on doing the valve covers too. will the 3.0 L ones also work?
thanks again bad venge.

the 3,0 swap uses the 2,5 manifold ... I don't believe that the 3,0 fits
