Default engine for swap help

I'm thinking is swapping my engine of the 04 SXT for 03 2.4 Turbo engine of a PT Cruiser.
Is this a good option?

Before anyone pipes in with the "OMG LIEK ANYTHIGN IS POSSIBLE WITH MONEY I BUILT A TIME MACHINE" soapbox...

I personally think it would be easier to switch in an SRT motor

Indeed it would be...why? Because the Neon and the SRT-4 run on the same platform with the same electronics, where the PT Cruiser does not. The PT 2.4 also has an intake manifold that wont work with a Neon body, the IC piping is ran differently, the motor mounts are different, the electronics are slightly different, and the block doesnt have oil squirters like the SRT's 2.4.

I thought the PT GT block was exactly the same
