My girlfriends grandmother owns a 1995 Dodge Neon Sport Coupe. They said it had a rare engine in it, and they only made so many of this model. Now i kind of believe this because i've only seen 2 of this model car in my life. It is a 2 door, 5 speed, and i believe it is a 4 cylinder. I'm not aware of what ltr. engine it has. Can anyone verify this rumor?

 

The 95 is diiferent that every other year. I am not sure what all the differences actually are, but parts are readily availible.

 

Technically speaking the 95 engine is the same with a few slight differences. Cam, intake manifold things of that nature.

There are actually 3 types of engines used in the Neon.

2.0 DOHC
2.0 SOHC

And the ever ellusive 1.6/8* liter OHV used in the European Neons. I have never personally seen a 1.6/8* engine over here in the States but I've spoken to people across the pond who had tthe smaller liter Neon.



And on a side note, the new Cooper Mini uses the European 1.6/8*L Neon engine. It was co-developed by BMW and Chrysler in Brazil, South America in 1997 or so just before Daimler Benz bought Chrysler. Chrysler was in talks with BMW for a buyout. Chrysler wanted BMW but Bavarian Motor Works didn't want to sell. The Mini's Neon engine was "built" up to give it a little more power, the non S version of the Mini is rated at I believe 160hp.


*= Can't remember if it's 1.8 liter or 1.6 liter.
