Default RE: SRT-4 Swap Progress- Update

Alright, so I am going to attempt to do the interior this weekend, and I will be estatic if I get it done! I have a few questiosn though maybe someone can answer for me...

I am putting the SRT-4 dash in there, do I need the dash brace from an SRT-4 to fit it in there, or do I need to do some cutting and whathaveyou to get the SRT-4 dash to fit onto the R/T Bracket? I figured I woudl go to the junk yard tomarrow and take a look around. If I get that bracket, can i just get one from an 03-05 Neon? I think they are the same...

As for getting fuel to the engine, Ibought an assembly off Ebay from an SRT-4 that swapped right into my gastank... Think I should run a different gas line? I dont know if running 58psi is going to require a bigger gas line or not...

Alright, sweet, and since the stock SRT-4 doesnt have a return line, and everything I am using is pretty much stock SRT-4, think I need to put one in?

Default RE: SRT-4 Swap Progress- Update

Well, figured I would post some progress.. I swapped out the rear wheel hubs. I also have the SRT-4 calipers on the rear with them. The Ebrake lines are ran. I think I am officially done with the back wheels now (Minus tires and alignment). All four tires are on the ground as of right now. I swapped the front struts for the SRT-4 struts, which are probably about 1.5 - 2 inches longer than the 1st gens. I am really hoping that once I set that engine in the bay that the front end will come down some! Also, the gas tank it back up where its supposed to be. Instead ofrunning a walbro 255, I bought the stock assembly for the SRT-4 and dropped that into my tank- hopefully that works!Other than that, I am ready to start up on putting the interior back together. Body work also needs done yet too, but I have a buddy who might be able to hook me up with that!Just an update if anyone is interested ;-)

my car looks like its got hydros on the front without the motor in it....so your car will lower a bit, but not a hell of alot with those struts.....might want to look into ome drop springs...

the stock fuel pump will supply enough fuel for you, but if you ever plan on modding the srt motor then i would have to suggest getting a walbro

Oh, I have the walbro sitting in my garage, haha, I just woudl rather keep it as stock SRT-4 set up as I can at the moment. Really, I am just wanting to get it done and on the road, but I dont want to rush it either >.<

I will try and get some pics tonight, maybe. Not too much to take pics of, though... I dont have the SRT-4 rims on right now because of the tires on them, they dont fit! So I squeezed on the R/T rims and tires just to get it off the jackstands and on its own weight. I think I might throw the motor in on two mounts tonight to see what the front looks like, might look into a 1/2in drop or something. I need to adjust some things with the shield for the steering column joints, they are rubbing on the shield, probably just cut around it...
