But I wanna buy this motor fro my 2003 neon sxt five speed. and today the guy i bought my car off of said i couldnt swap that motor into it due to sensors or some ****. would somebody with good knowledge and info on how to perform this swap please contact me on aim ( xXSikSnyprXx ) or yahoo ( chris_craycraft@yahoo.com ).

It will not work without some work... the 00-02 and 03-05 are very different. Not only is the wiring harnesses and ECU programming totally different, the block and hardware has some changes also. Crank sensors and cam sensors are different including the cam magnet. The crank trigger wheel is different.

To make that work in your 2003, you would need engine bay wiring harness along with the dash wiring harness. All cam and crank sensors along with magnets. & 00-02 ECU.

honestly, i suggest to find another motor... there are other little things that are different that will just become a huge headache.
