im trying to sawp a 2.4 out of a 99 stratus in to a 96 neon i also got a tranny, wiring harnest, pcm for tranny also got a module the question is how difficult can this swap be made ?

 

well i have not done the swap myself but at the dragstrip friday i talked to a guy who had just done the same swap but he added a turbo[sm=badbadbad.gif]
he told me that the swap wasnt all that bad but there was a lot of fabricating to brackets and something about the trany brackets maybe dont really know he said that one of the hardest things that pissed him of the most was making the hood fit the motor but that was just what he said
the 98 neon w/2.4 stratus motor with turbo and street tires which i can say that he never hooked up ran a 8.70 on the 1/8 with no tunning he dropped the motor in and ran it

 

The tranny doesn't use a PCM...you use the neon tranny.

 

yes use the neon tranny save alot of headache the swap is not hard and my hood fit just fine as long as u have a dohc hood u wont have any problems.

 

yea but the neon tranny is a 3 speed and the stratus is a 4 speed i got a lot more torque from the stratus

 

y not use a manual tranny?

 

well if the stratus tranny needs a computer to shift it ur gonna nee to change All of the wiring its not worth that effort to me at least. a manual swap would be best if u want torque and i can tell you its the best way to go and not hard to do at all. good luck on your project.

 

i say do the stratus's 4 speed trans it's a verygood autotrans....you could also use the auto stick tranny[8D]

 

You cannot use the 4spd trans because it gets too hot in the neon's small engine bay. Even with an auxiliary cooler it will get too hot.

 

Bingo!!!!!!
