    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    Mine fits pretty much exactly the same as the SRT4 top after the slight sanding/filing/cutting. I only remember the inside top lip being higher on the SRT4 cover and everything else being the same...

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    If you use the stratus outside top and bottom timing cover they will fit with a very slight massaging of the top inside SRT4 cover. It was about 10 seconds with a sanding pad on a 90 degree die...

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    I avoided all of that by putting the flange on the top side of the manifold and shifting the turbo to the driver's side.

    It clears the firewall on my GLHS with no problem so it would have to fit...

    I think it is because of the Neon adapter. I am pretty sure that mine is also upsidedown to level the engine.

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    This bracket is the 1G neon 2.0l bracket. People are able to use these with the 2.4 swap with a little work (it looks like it holes were ovaled out).

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    They used lots of different compressors...

    The PT and SRT4 use a late 2nd gen neon compressor from '03+ or so.

    The stratus uses a different compressor. I think you said you looked this up and...

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    This confirms that the Caravan bracket is taller and closer to the water outlet compared to the stratus alternator bracket.

    On the Stratus bracket I had to put in a notch in order to get the water...

    No kidding... After being so used to everything being the same I guess I made too many assumptions... I guess my picture of the newer style all steel engine mount failed to attach or something. I...

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    Nice bracket, what is the part number? The stratus bracket is half steel half aluminum so it is different.



    There are at least 3 caravan front motor mounts then.

    The all steel 2.4 bracket...

    Re: '04 SRT-4 engine in an '88 Caravan build

    You can get them for $20 the ebay link was just to show what it is.

    The stratus intake and accessories are the best IMO. They are also the easiest to get.

    You could even consider using the...

    I have heard of the rear alternator brackets cracking so if you go that route consider reinforcing the bracket.

    I have the rear bracket if you need it.

    That can be done but then he has an issue with the PS pump...

    IIRC the SRT4 uses the passenger side motor mount as part of the PS tensioiner and mount.

    Don't over think the AC bracket. It works fine once you modify it slightly.

    There is a 3rd boss on the SRT4 block right in the middle of it. Drill a hole through the bracket that aligns with...

    Why not just leave the TB on the passenger side? If you are running a front mount intercooler it would probably be easier anyway....

    I looked at that intake manifold but it just won't clear the...
