the 95's crankbearing journals area bit larger then the rest of the years....anyways it is in a neon, should be the same for a stratus....
what are you swapping??? if your using the 95 block then you will have to use the 95's crank

I want to interchange the motors. Put the 95 motor(out of a manual)in the 96 car(automatic). I was told that the 95 motorhas a different crank(because it is a manual), therefor it will not work with theautomatic transmission(1996). I have know idea!!!

when i had my motor build the shop accidentally ordered main bearings for a 95.....the tnags were opposite sidded, but the bearings themselves were a larger diameter and they wouldnt even fit in the journals[&:]

thats weird because i ground the tangs in a bedplate from a 95 to accept the newer bearing and raced it all season, lol.
not saying its not possible, anything can happen with chrystler.

i thought they were all the same size too....thats why i thought it was weird
the diameter of the bearings was about a 1/4" larger on the ones they ordered for me instead of what i needed.....aparentally they are also the same bearings as the mitsu. 4g63
