hey all im in the preliminarys of swapping the motor on this neon but was curious on what you guys think would be a better swap my first option is using some parts i already have i plan on a rear wheel drive swap.
first option is using my 348 stroker i got laying around a older dakota rack and pinon tf727 and 8 3/4 rear open dif i have some other misc parts but thats the majors
or i can look for something else since i found a place i can get wrecked newer vechicles for fairly cheap 3-5 grand. crossfire v-6 maybe a caliber awd? what would you guys think would be i better idea the first option drops me out of the smog arena but i do believe a newer motor such has those maintaing smog equip should pass bar its a 05 neon and id rather not go the srt route alittle common. i know both require massive mods but it has been done before and ive toyed with a v8 isuzu swap i did a while back so its possible for me to do it

well you are gonna have to do some major modifications to make it RWD.... but i'd love to know what motor you choose.....

 

As said above it would be awesome to see what motor you choose, and rwd neon sounds fun to drive.

 

its a toss up but id like some input i wonder if i could find a cross fire rt ive seen first gens with all sorts of swaps 440's subi motors and i know the biggest interior mod is the driveshaft tunnel all were the case perhaps a crossfire may be a better choice good to find a srt front clip and try and scavange has much has possible possibly retrofitting the cross fire crossmember and front suspension to the neon smaller v-6 means less of a clearance issue with the front radiator

I have heard there isn't much room at all for a driveshaft to go to the back. So yeah, it would be a lot of work but is would be really cool if you pulled it off.
