You should be able to physically make it fit. Verify the position of the motor and transmission mounts, I believe the transmissions are the same between the engines (41te). Possibility that you may need to swap the ECU's.

My 04 stratus is 4cyl, and the 01rt is 6cyl. Both are automatic.

According to the mitsu site I researched before my 3.5 swap, the trans will not interchange between the 4 cyl and 6 cyl. Apparently they have different bellhousing bolt patterns. check out this site http://www.club3g.com/forum/ and search there for more info.
