The engine I ended up getting was a 98 instead of a 96....is that okay? THe alternator is in the front and my original is in the back, is that still gonna hook up?

You got a '98 2.4L engine? If so, you're good. Here is some more/better info
Yes the 2.0 and 2.4 heads are the exact same head. They are the same casting number. The difference is the cam gears and the cams. You can use a 2.0 exhuast cam on your 2.4 motor and gain some HP. You must use 2.4 cam gears. Do not change the 2.4 intake cam. I will repeat the 2.0 and 2.4 heads are the same heads and can be used on either motor!!!

My Neon redlines stock at 7000 rpm but the stratus redlines at 6250 rpm....does that make a big difference or is that okay? Thanks

Rev limiter is controlled by the PCM and you will be using the DOHC neon PCM.

Yeah I know that, but will the engine be able to hold up to the new redline at 7k?

Also, the underdrive pully I haqve, you said it should work but when I compared it to the stock stratus UDP, it was much smaller. It doesn't look like it will work. Will it throw off the engine balance? Thanks!

yeah I know, but it looks backwards as well that's why I am asking......because the pulley is on the block of the engine?
