RE: SXT to R/T
-Engine
-Tranny since r/t final is 3.94, sxt final is 3.55
-Pcm
-You might need the sentry crap and ignition from the donor car also, but I'm not positive
Thats about all I can think of at the moment. But, why do you want to swap to r/t? Just to go faster? If thats what you want get a manual tranny and swap that in there. You'll instantly be about a second faster in 1/4 mile. You can use r/t tranny or sxt, doesn't really matter.

k so i'm thinking of doing a swap from my Auto SXT to an R/T..
so the post around only say what u'll need to do the srt swap, so anyone around here could let me know what i need for the r/t swap?

[ul][*]Head/Cam[*]Intake Manifold[*]Exhaust Manifold[*]3.94 Tranny[*]ECU - (your VIN can be flashed, no need for new sentry)[/ul]The ECU is not needed unless you really want the advanced timing curve and have it control the butterflies in the intake manifold. You can control them with an RPM switch if you don't swap the ECU. You can also use any year magnum head from 2000-2004. Keep in mind the Cam magnet are different from 2000-2002 then the 2003-2004 magnets. Be sure you use the proper magnet for the proper ECU.

Depends on how complete you want to be... A full R/T swap would include: [ul][*]Head/Cam[*]Intake Manifold[*]Exhaust Manifold[*]3.94 Tranny[*]ECU - (your VIN can be flashed, no need for new sentry)[/ul]The ECU is not needed unless you really want the advanced timing curve and have it control the butterflies in the intake manifold. You can control them with an RPM switch if you don't swap the ECU. You can also use any year magnum head from 2001-2004.

. Second, since you have an NGC Neon that means your CR is the 9.3:1, so for a complete R/T swap you would also need the pistons (9.8:1). If you were planning on just swapping in the entire engine and transmission (meaning block and all) you have to make sure its from a 2003-2004 R/T, because an 01-02 PCM and block will not work on an NGC Neon. I think thats about it...

I'll just add a few things myself...first, there is no year 2000 Magnum engine, an insignificant detail, but still lol .

RE: SXT to R/T
would it be worth it if my car has over 50k and the r/t less than 20k? mines an 04 the r/t an 03
So i would need the Engine, Trasmission, ECU, Power train control module (i think thats what PCM stands for)
so other things would be the clutch and brake pedals with clutch pump and lines, shifter with cables, anything else?
would i need the gas pedal with cables? wire harness? any Ac parts(compresor blabla)? brake booster? anything else maybe some of the stuff i wouldnt need?
LowSlowNeon was talking about just swapping a tranny, so how can i do that?
