Engine swaps

The shortblock from the 96-99 DOHC Neon is identical to that in the 2gnt. The head is backwards, and will thus require the head from your 2gnt.

The 96-99 SOHC Neon block is the same, but uses lower compression pistons. Again, requires 2gnt head.

95 Neon SOHC and DOHC bare blocks have vents cut into a shelf, these will need to be plugged for any 2gnt use.

95 DSM and Neon 420a's have an offset bearing notch in the main web. A new notch should be cut to use the common 96+ main bearings.

The 95-99 4cylinder Avenger and Sebring has the same deluxe longblock as the 2gnt. This is a direct swap.

The 2.4l from Cloud cars can fit with a little modification. More 2.4L swap info at 2GNT.com - home.




Nobody has successfully completed a SRT-4 engine swap, it has been measured to not fit well. If you think you will be the first, just do it, then tell us how.

The 4g63/4 requires a lot of fabrication and rewiring to fit. The consensus from those who know is that it is not worth it. Take our word for it.

The 6g72 requires a lot of fabrication and rewiring to fit. The consensus from those who know is that it is not worth it. Take our word for it.

The 2JZGTE, RB26DETT, VQ37, K24, B16, SBC, P&W R-4360, &c... will not fit without ridiculous fabrication and wiring. Don't ask us how - we don't know.
