95+ nt question.

[Silent2g]

alright, i just got done rebuilding a n/a dsm with some happy mods while i was in there. cams and other thingies.

now the question

knowing that the n/a spyder comes with a 2.4 liter, and the other dodge variations come with a 2.4 liter. being the SAME block. from what i could tell upon inspection. could a 2.4 liter crank work in a 2.0 motor?? n/a of course. doing some number crunching later could lead me to believe it can work. but im not 100% sure on this due to the rod/stroke length of the 2.0 liter as it is {rather large rods}.


has anyone else thought of this? or done it?

or am i out of my mind again

I think it may be easier to just switch the entire bottom end with one of the 2.4 Chrysler engines. The block from the NT spyders WILL NOT work, they are completely different. You can find the 2.4L block in the chrysler cloud cars (cirrus, stratus, etc.). This has been done and both the transmission and head will simply bolt up. The only real challenge is the modification that needs to be performed on the passenger side motor mount in order for it to fit. The guys that did also took the balance shafts out of the motor so that it will rev more readliy and hold more oil. If you have any more ?'s just ask and Ill try my best to answer
