I have heard of people doing this. I have actually seen photos of it in the past. I am not sure of the extent of it, I have never personally done it. I know you will need to modify the radiator for the manifold to fit, also remember a problem with the cam sensor working with the neon computer. In the past I had a 420a eclipse with a bad short block, I used a dodge neon short block and just swapped the externals over, I had no issues using the 420a head on it. DOHC and SOHC injectors are the same. I have used injectors laying around. They just need to be the same design, and same independence. But changing the injectors can drastically change the a/f ratio so it will need tuned.

I have never tried this because I think its useless. Exhaust in front and intake in back? I would rather have intake in front and exhaust in back. My 2 cents.

If were talking about the factory dodge neon computer. Simple answer is no. Will it be any time soon? Nope. From what I have been told they are very hard to crack the code. Atx? Do you mean Afx? Atx ecu stands for a factory automatic ecu. I haven't bought one in a while. They were 150-200 area used back in the day. Mopar ecus are a little cheaper, but not as aggressive.

If you wanna tune the car, you have to have a stand alone EMS.
