ok, so as most of you know i am doing a v8 swap in a 96 neon, now for the question is the short block for a 96 the same as the 2002??? and if not what is the differece, i figure if i can use the block my 96 can become a big parts car for my 02, and that is what i am hoping for. it would save me some money when it comes to putting big boost to my 02
