Q: I heard that the Eclipse and Neon have the same engine, is this true?
A:No! The eclipse has a 420a engine and the neon has the ECC (DOHC) engine or ECB (SOHC). The DOHC neon engine was a joint venture between Lamborghini (YES, that's right) and Chrysler. Mitsubishi used the Neon engine in their non-turbo Eclispe, but reversed the head to put the exhaust manifold in the front. The 4g63 engine (turbo) was entirely designed by Mitsubishi in Japan and has no common parts with the neon.

for some reason i think you can swap the heads

this explains most of the diffrences

well a DOHC head on a SHOC block is going to lower your compression because the SHOC pistons.So not as much HP. good if your thinking turbo but if N/A better off withe DOHC pistons.

well DOHC pistons are the higher compression type, so you wont be able to add as much boost. best stuff for turbos would be as low compression stuff, perferably forged internals
