To my knowledge, the 2.5 bell works fine, the liberty bell is too deep for the r154. The 2.5 bell has been used with a r154 and a MA5 successfully.

Is it possible to get a picture of the caravan intake?
[Insert your avatar here] Lol. That's awesome! Does anyone have a reference pic of this bolt offset issue on the bellhousing to block? I'd be interested in seeing this to know what I'm getting myself into...haha. Sounds easy as finding someone who welds aluminum.Originally Posted by moparman76_69
Yeah I'll try and get one, been meaning to make a FS ad with it and some other stuff.
Its the same issue as bolting a 2.4 to a 555/520/523/568.
I've never done that either...haha. But I'll do some searching.
Well...the stock 2.7 in this POS is really getting on my nerves.
This is becoming closer and closer to happening. :/
2.4 caravan intake pics?
i'm starting my rwd swap. i'm putting it in a 62 dodge lancer. i have the liberty bellhousing, 2.4 engine soon to have srt4 internals, ma5 trans. and a 420a head, which will move the intake to the passenger side putting the throttle body out front. also giving me more intake manifold choices

nowhereman, gotta ask you throw up some pics. So many projects start like this from unregistered users and get our pants halfway tight, and are never to be heard from again. I think Larry may be one of the few that followed it through, among the die hards here and TD.com...

any progress?
Would be interested in knowing what year liberty bellhousing.
Using that bell is the MA5 the only trans option?

Thanks for the assist! :thumbup:
I remember now going through those pages before. Lots of good info there but only takes a short amount of time to make my head hurt!

MOPAR power in a BMW!! I LOVE it!!
03-04. but i think it's the tj that uses it also. as far as transmissions you have r154 from the supra in the price range of $1500.00. and some other weaker ones. the ma5 reports to be shronger than the r154, has a better gear ratio and can be had for around $300.00 i got mine for $275.00 the flywheel for $75.00. and the bellhousing for $80.00. you can hack out the side of the 2.5 bellhousing, or mill some material off the liberty bells face to get the proper depth.

Hmm...don't know much about the ma5.
And I sold that BMW but I'm picking up another one. This by no means will be a quick project, so, I'll just drive it on the inline 6 til I pick up all the parts.
But this seriously is THE project I want to do someday in my life. I just want a srt4 engine in a sexy, handling, RWD platform. Would make for a perfect setup.
wow. i had no idea the r154 got that rare/pricy that quick.
I had one that i picked up for 190$ a few years ago. sold it to buy a wrecked AWD caravan. lol.

Brian, do you remember what year r154 was the best years to get?

Yeah, the R154's have really gone up in price. That's why the MA5 is getting a lot of attention now. On top of it they've proven to be solid for some good power, too. AND there's multiple versions out there with different gear ratios depending on what you get. I don't know if the aftermarket is supporting it from the sense of custom gear ratios yet, but I would think that would happen eventually considering its growing popularity.
can be had from colorado, canyon and solstice.
