    Will a 2.4 fit in a Shelby charger ?

    I got a guy here in town that wants to sale me a 2.4 from a stratus. He said he wants 150 bucks. He was going to swap the motor in a neon,but bought a turbo kit for his neon instead. I was thinking the price was good enough,but really don't have a use for it. He said it was suppose to have 60k on it.I seen the 2.4 in kevins daytona,but never seen one in a L body.
    Any thoughts on what turbo dodges are easier to do a 2.4 swap to ?
    Daytonas,mini vans,P bodies ?

    Whose is that ?
    I would guess yours right?
    So do you have info on mounts and what did you do about wiring and all the fun stuff like that ? I need to get some information on this if you have any.Man looks like a real tight fit for sure and that the firewall was cut and moved about 6 inches ?

    That car belongs to Rob Pachner in Ohio. He goes by Ohiorob on TD.com. I have no knowledge of him being here. I've seen the car in person and it is beautiful and fast.

    I am working on the conversion as well. I hope to have a mockup with the 2.4 block, 2.0 head, NVT 350 tranny, mexican turbo manifold and Holset HY35 turbo here in a couple weeks. Feel free to PM me.~~Heath

    Same here, but I am looking to get out of the TD game.

    The drop in is relatively straight forward. The mexican manifold allows for no need to do any firewall massaging.

    The 2.4 will fit in any TD, esp if you use the mexican exhaust manifold and a Neon intake. The space problems are on the firewall and radiator side.

    A stratus 2.4 motor mount with a Neons.org 2.4 adapter will bolt on the pass side, and a stock mount will bolt on to the drivers side. The front mount will need to be customized.

    Re: Will a 2.4 fit in a Shelby charger ?

    should fit with some modifications, it will not be a direct bolt in

    Keep an eye on Ebay, seems like a wrecked one pops up every month or so.

    Re: Will a 2.4 fit in a Shelby charger ?

    How much space does this car actually have from the front of the intake to the radiator support? How much closer is it relative to an 8V car?

    I know my huge radiator won't fit but will a stock radiator and slim line fan fit?

    Thanks,

    Rich

    Is there enough room with the stock SRT-4 manifold/turbo setup or the mexican manifold? Will the 2.4 fit OK with the stock AC compressor? If I pull the engine out of the GLHS a 2.4 needs to go back in..

    Isn't Kevin (DodgeZ from BM.com) putting the SRT-4 motor into his Omni?

    The Trans should bolt up no problem but the clutch wont work. You need to steal the entire hydraulic clutch assembly from the SRT4. (it doesnt use a cable like ours)

    Check into using a 1st gen neon bell housing with the srt gear box. I knwo of some that have ran that setup with a 2gen gear box. Not 100% sure of how similar the srt gear box is.
