Does anybody know if the new SRT-4 Engine will fit my 2001 sohc neon?

 

well i have seen an SRT-4 engine in a couple of 1st gen cars.

 

Sure. You might need to do some custom fabbing, but you can get it in there. I believe its easier to swap it into a 2nd gen neon then it is a first gen.

 

It's not going to be a direct swap. Getting the engine (and/or tranny) is one thing, controlling it is another. You'll need the PCM for the SRT-4, which means you'll need the SKIM unit and instrument cluster that all have to match for the car to start. You could go with a standalone unit I suppose. The stock 2" exhaust piping isn't going to cut it either.

For the amount of time and money you'd spend doing the swap, why not consider a turbo kit that will put you in the same HP range? I mean, if you've happened across a wrecked SRT-4 that you can get super cheap, I'd understand... The stock internals on the 2.0L can't take much more than 230 ft-lbs torque, but that is plenty to put even the 2nd gens in the 12's. Just a thought.

Best of luck!

 

Try this, I know its for the 1st gen, but contact them they might have one for the 2nd gen. srt-4 swap kit
