I've read all over that you can do a 2.4l swap. But i havent actually found a list of what you need to do it. Are we talking pull out your whole 2.0 and then dropping in a 2.4 or is it just modifying the 2.0 to a 2.4 by changing parts?

 

Pulling the old, dropping the new

 

need list... 2.4L out of a PT Cruser, Stratus, Cirrus or Sebring, wiring harness and the PCM, and i think the intake and exhaust manifolds, and a few mods to make it fit.

 

It's more than that...

Parts list from THIS how to.
2.4L Stratus motor 10000 miles $1100
Nemo mount and bracket kit (no fuel parts) $500 or so
Accel 30lb injectors $225 or so
MPx pulley $120
EGR block off kit (we used an old one didn't have to buy it)
DOHC auto computer $25 bucks
DOHC wiring harness $50 bucks
DOHC intake manifold $125
DOHC fuel rail $50
DOHC TPS and Idle air control $160 dollars
DOHC knock sensor $50 or so
DOHC upper rad hose $11
DOHC lower rad hose (they are almost the same) $10
DOHC thermostat housing $40 bucks
DOHC Mopar Performance Street header $320 bucks
Thermostat $5
DOHC "Power Bulge" Hood $120
assorted fluids and such $40 bucks
Bosch style injector plugs can be purchased from Autozone if necessary

 

is the 2.4 out of the caravan the same? some of these were turboed allready

 

As long as it's a mid-90 non turbo engine.

 

You mention alot of DOHC parts there that you need, what if the car already has a DOHC 2.0? can you use some of it's parts?(wiring, ECU, manifolds)

 

the pcm and wiring can still be used....you just have to change a few sensors around.....im not sure about the intake manifold but the exhaust will work

 

I am also wanting to do a swap on my 98 plymouth neon expresso. I am new to the american car scene I used to only drive Japanese cars lol. But i have been reading that a pt engine swap would go in clean few bolts and stuff from the 2.4 would that fits right in. Has there been anymore updates on this swap lately like if it matters from what car the engine comes from and what not, I did find this link, i would like to know your guys input http://forum.1gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=1101
