^LOL.. you cant just "go bolt in a 2.4 form a stratus", not even close to that simple... please.. if you dont know dont respond.

He would need a list of dffernt items, and fabbed parts to run a 2.4..

OP. Just stay away from OBX. didnt you learn anything from your stock ebay build.. that blew up? OBX is the same crap. yes some have ran it fine, some havent. why risk it? go with what works.

What bearing are you running and at what tolerances? stock tols are only good for so much. Id work with your machine shop to figure out whats best for the application.. If they say stock is fine, Id go somewhere else that has actual knowlege..GL!
 
A custom motor mount and a bit of wiring isnt very much, already helped on one of these swaps and its not rocket science.

i didnt say he could "bolt in a 2.4 from a stratus". I said he could use a 2.4 block with the dohc head. I didnt bother with intense detail because if hes interested, he can search and find TONS of info and write-ups.

Just another option that may be more cost effective than a full on stroker setup. No need to be short or rude.

The shop I took to is a performance Machine shop. He asked me if it was gonna be a dd, drag car ect. If it was gonna be turbo charged and how much boost I was gonna run. He was also checking all the tolerances.
 
Finally got my block back from the Machine shop. It ran me $670 washed, bore and honed, crank grinded, crank polished, ACL bearing kit main and rod, balanced, and assembled short block.

Personally i wouldnt use the stock clutch with a moddified motor. i have a 10.5 comp that will be turbo'd soon, i went with spec stage 2 with the n/a and regret it. im hoping it will hold up when i go over 300hp. Unorthadox pulley makes the car really responsive compared to the heavy stock pulley. Just dont lighten the flywheel and it will drive like stock but rev faster.
 
as far as clutch im a big fan of my stage 3+ spec clutch with 6 puck, grips hard an doesnt slip at all, i also took a risk and instead of getting a quaffie lsd, i decided to go with one of the new rebuilt obx's by ed peters an absolutely love it the car fells like a completely different car with the clutch an lsd combo!
 
Thats sweet man I heard lots of bad things about the obx lsd. I do believe in some of there parts tho, how much did it cost for that? Ed peters? new obx lsd?

I was looking at that one the other day thinking about getting it.
 
I finally got it dropped in. I still need to get gear oil, put my CV joints in and bleed the brakes and clutch and put thebrake calipers on back on.

I would feel confident in getting one of these. Ed (well his crew) get them in and go through them to fix/machine if necessary, all the poor quality parts.
