i have looked in alot of resorcies and can't seem to findout witch block was use stock on the street neon, i have a 96 coup and am trying to work out if a crate stroker or building one is cheaper, but crates are offered in both short and long blocks with about a 3K dif

 

I find the Warlock and Wizard blocks better myself ;-) j/k


Short block has no cylinder head or oil pan. You use your cylinder head. A long block is supplied with a a cylinder head installed.

Our Short & Long blocks are both balanced and blueprinted. Our long blocks have our Stage 6 cylinder head with cams installed and degreed for maximum performance.

 

Its a 420a block.

 

420A = dohc.

 

420A = Avenger, Talon, Eclispe, Sebring Coupe 4 cylinder
ECB = Neon SOHC 95-02 Except R/T
ECC = Neon DOHC 95-99

No 420A version was ever used in a Neon, the cylinder head and pistons are backwards.

 

Really I have always been told that was the neon block, huh, you learn somethin every day.

 

yeah, that is the "rumor" i have guys all the time askin if mine is the 420a and i just laugh, alot of reports are sayin the mitsu engine is the neon dohc but backwards, but it is not true. block is close but not the same.

 

tanx folks for that info. and thanx gary for the info on the next ? that was going to you on your crate motars LOL

 

420A is the name Mitsu gave the long block in the Eclipse. D4RE (DOHC) and S4RE (SOHC) are the names Chrysler gave the Neon long blocks. Other than the '95 SOHC (stupid bearings...), all the short blocks are the same, just different pistons.

 

Someone just made that up on ******. Chrysler shows the ECB, ECC, etc in all the Mopar parts catalogs, just like Gary wrote. No where in any Chrysler parts book will you find d4re or s4re that I've seen, I've seen a LOT of Chrysler Parts books.
