Ive got a 2000 dodge neon es and my engine is on its last leg. i waant to engine swap with an srt-4. is is straight bolt up or not? if not what will i have to do to make it work. i have never done an engine swap before please help.

 

it will fit in directly i think, buttttt the wiring is COMPLETELY different, so you would have to rewire your whole car

 

Yes it will fit. Engine, tranny, wiring harness, pcm, and axles are the big things I can think of at the moment.

 

Thanks to -03neonRT-

For the SRT-4 turbo engine, you will need the following parts:

Engine and Tranny
Complete Engine Wiring Harness
Complete Engine Bay Wiring Harness
Power Steering Pump, lines, and cooler
Clutch master and slave cylinder
Clutch/Brake Pedal assembly
Intercooler Piping
Intercooler
Radiator Hoses
Lower Motor Mounts (the hole in the lower mount is larger for larger bolts)
SRT PCM (wont' need the bracket if swapping into an 03+)
Axles (and half shaft if it isn't on the engine)
Coolant Bottle
Fuel Line from tank to engine bay
Fuel Pump
Flex Fuel line from solid fuel line to fuel rail
Short evap hose that comes from the purge valve
All vacuum lines and the 3 selonids
o2 Sensors
Turbo Housing + o2 Housing
Lower Control Arms (they're stronger yet the same in shape)

Some options parts would include:

SRT Power steering rack (it's shorter)
Knuckles
Flexiable Brake Lines
Calipers
Rotors

The stimated cost will be anywhere from $3,000-$5,000 depending on many factors...if you install it or not, are you buying a donor car, or just the engine/tranny, and costs for misc. parts, etc...

 

Lol, well it depends how cheap you want to get by. But that is a more thorough list.

yes, i have noticed this subject of thread quite frequently.
