    Well you are making my day! I love the 5-speed but driving around in traffic here is really tiring! After driving Mike's SRT4 ACR I realized what I was missing all along! The Hydraulic clutch is great! (you can even have a REALLY stiff PP and you hardly feel it!) Pass me some details, I didnt know such conversion existed! (although I certainly figured it was possible!) Hell I can even check it out in person.

    Do you guys still have shop down there that could swap a motor in when I am ready to do that? I dont even have a driveway so I have to park on the street. I sold my engine lift and stand a few weeks ago. I cant have a car on stands overnight etc so I just cant do those kinds of things.

    I just looked up wilwoods stuff. I wish I had known that existed before. With there kit it'll be easy! Well hell, a stock srt4 motor with a 568/hydraulic clutch is the way to go then!!

    does the non-turbo pt-cruiser engine have the same head and block as the srt-4? I want to build up a srt-4 engine and found some N/A pt-cruiser engines for cheap. I was going to go with a 95-99 stratus block but would rather have an srt-4 block because of the oil-squirters, better coolant flow, and better flowing head

    My dad sold his shop a few years ago. Squirrel has a real shop still up in Owings, MD. I just have a garage with ALL the need tools, lift, stands, hoist.

    I havent built the brake setup yet, but I will.

    Re: So, you want a 2.4 in your car.... here's some info.

    $65 VERY well spent. Picked up a 2.4 with 35k miles on it! Look for pictures later tonight or tomorrow, so far I have the cam cover off and it isnt even OIL STAINED! We did have a little mishap when pulling it and I now need a new oilfilter mounting cover thinggy.

    Im not sure on the year but it does not have plastic intake runners, they are aluminum. It has to be pre-01 because nothing past 2000 will be in the lot unless it is totally stripped for parts.

    I am just really confused as to how this thing mounts up since it has a mount on the front and back and nothing on the side. Oh well I guess Ill have to fab up something.

    So after reading these 4 pages am I understanding that I can use an SRT engine? I know the some of the Neon guys shun them because of the crank trigger setup. I could either go standalone or dist off the camshaft and use old school computer cal correct?

    Re: So, you want a 2.4 in your car.... here's some info.

    Ok just as another FYI, ive heard that when swapping an SRT-4 engine using the SRT intake manifold the throttle body will interfere with the transmission. This may be with autos only though.

    I can confirm however that it does not interfere with an A-520, I just got done mating mine up and it doesnt seem like there will be an issue. I did have to take the throttle body off to mate the trans but then once they were together I was able to put it back on easily.


    Also with an SRT-4 to A-520 two bolt holes on the trans dont line up and one bolt hole on the engine doesnt line up. I have an idea for a simple bracket that should work really well though, ill get some pics tomorrow.


    Some more info on passenger side engine mounting here (thanks to ohiorob) --> http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=18097

    Re: So, you want a 2.4 in your car.... here's some info.

    ok, so, i have an srt4 2.4 engine trans, intake and exhaust, with the ecu and working on geting a harness. i have the adapter to stick this engine in a neon but will it work in my 88 shadow?? The shadow has a blown engine, popped a head gasket and previous owner drove it till it quit. what am i goin to have to buy to get this in the car??? can i use an automatic behind it too?? automatics are under constant boost under acceleration, no boost loss. interior wise i'd have to get the manual console, and cables for the t850, i have a shifter. or would it be better just to put another 2.2 8v engine back in the car????
