hey guys im fairly new here, but it seems like i cant find a answer to my qestion. ok i havew a sebring 2002 2.7 and the engine jus took a poop. now i have found a 2005 2.7 stratus engine. im know its the same engine, but i also know i would have to swap somethings around.

i would just like some links or comments on how i can do this, maybe a computer swap is needed, or anything. because its the whole car so when i go i would like to get what i need from it to make this work on my 2.7 sebring convertible. since they fixed all the bugs in 2004 and up.

anything would help thanks guys

 

no one??

 

Welcome to DF
The motor will work in the 2002 sebring. You should switch all your valve covers and intake and all sensors.

 

dude sweet!! thanks so much, so its for sure the 05 will work than? man thanks bro.......... now i have to get this engine asap. its only 394 at a local bodyshop. they filed for a mechanics lean on it cuz the customer did pay or something, so they parting it out. and yes i did run the vin jus to make sure is not stolen. the cars rear frame was bent, and the car does drive, and i herd it start. so im good to go than?

 

so the ecu will match also?

 

You want to use all of the electronic from the 2002.

 

ok got it, now one more question. i know about removing an engine, but any suggestions on a convertible to take the engine out? what i mean is from the top or bottom would be ideal if i have no lift. i have a lift but its taken for the next week, so i guess top would be for me, but i just want to make sure its possible lol

 

It can be done either way. The last one I did was thru the front of the car with the transmission.

 

ok im having problems with these plugs.

this plug hee looks like its the knock sensor but im not sure. it snames between the heads, on the rear head. it threads to it, but i cant find the spot to plug this in. look below




this plug its a 2 piece, its brown and i have no idea where is goes:

this is a close up:





now this plug is trick, this thing looks like it goes to the rear near tranny. cuz the plug is short, and i already have something plugged to its second plug like its realy close to this one:

 

update never mind the knock sensor. ok here is the issue, the 2005 block the kncok sensor is a stud, on the 2002 it threads in the block, you guys think i can splice the connections and useww the one of thew 2005? because the 2005 block has a stud and i cant remove it, so what u guys think? also the only thing i cant find is the blue plug
