There are a couple different engines you can fit in our engine bay
2.5L V6 used in the last generation avenger/sebrings
-Difficulty level is pretty high (this has actually been done)
3.0L V6 used in current eclipse GT
-Difficulty level is the same as above since the blocks are nearly identical, this has yet to be done to an eclipse but it has been done to an avenger so its possible
2.4L 420a This can be found in the Dodge cloud cars (Cirrus, Stratus, etc), and a few other vehicles (including the new turbo neon).
-This is by far the easiest swap. All you need is the bottom end from a donor car and basically everything else will bolt right up including your tranny and head. The motor mount near the cam gears will need to be modified slightly though. There are also a few other things that need to be done such as wiring etc. but thats normal with motor swaps. One of the guys on the 2gnt board has done this swap and he said that before he went turbo his engine felt as strong as a turboed stock engine at 5psi (if that makes any sense). Ive also heard that the sound of this engine is incredible. This is something that I definitely want to look in to doing down the road.
If you have any ?'s let me know and Im sure I could find the answer for you
