The Second generation2.0 SOHC is the same engine we have in all our Neons with the exception of a hotter cam and improvedintake manifoldand Throttle body. This engine lasted from 1993 to 2005 and ended with the Neon.

Yes that head will work and you'll bennifit from a better Cam and a bit better flow, but it will bolt right up!. My advice is go for it and if you don't totally beleive me I will buy the head from you or whoever is selling it .

The Magnum name is given to almost all Engines used by Dodge, The block is the samecasting#and the head is almost identical to the first Gen 2.0 only difefrence is better cam and improved flow.

It is only a better head IF it's a Magnum head, which the original poster did not mention.

But to answer the original question, yes it will work fine. You won't have the EGR anymore though however if you have emissions testing and you may get a CEL for it.

what do you mean, its rapping really bad? is this a noise that it makes, or did you mean that it is warping?
