  1. 420A 420A (non turbo) rebuild kit

    I'm in the process of rebuilding mine now. I'm using an Engine Tech gasket kit and pieced together the rest.Since I just ran into this I figured I share, make sure you get the right main bearings, they are different for early vs late (96-99) 420As! The Engine Tech website was helpful in...
  2. 420A Reliability Build?

    Yeah, I have heard about a "mopar" mechanical tensioner as well, but haven't found anything about it at 2GNT... but maybe I suck at searching lol
  3. 420A Reliability Build?

    Thanks for the reply, sounds like solid advice!Yeah, the engine was supposed to be "running" out of a dude on marketplace's car, but on further inspection, there's no way. Had to be from a junkyard - cut hoses and wiring, I should have noticed 😞 I knew I was taking a gamble when I saw there...
  4. 420A Reliability Build?

    Any advise? Maybe I wrote too much or more likely my thread title didn't interest anyone.Mostly trying to answer these two things now:- I've heard that the stock timing tensioner is trash and should be replaced with a mechanical tensioner. Is that only for boosted/sustained high rpm...

    What are your goals?
  6. 420A Reliability Build?

    Hi everyone. I'm pretty new here - joined a few months ago when I started looking for a 2g. I Finally found one but the engine is knocking. I pulled it last weekend and I'm starting the tear down this week, but I've got a few questions first:Goal for this car is a cool looking, summer daily...
  7. How long and/or wide is a 2G DSM engine bay?

    I just measured my RS swap candidate - it's 34.5in between "frame rails". As I was pulling out the 420a i was thinking to myself that it was way tighter than I thought. I think that upper A arm takes up a lot of space?This is going to be a bigger challenge than I thought haha
  8. WTB New here, looking for a clean 2G GS to buy

    Good question. It’s definitely easier to find one in good shape. But mostly I don’t trust the reliability as much and turbo parts only seem to be getting more expensive.The GS seemed like a better option for a swap down the road. I’d feel bad chopping up a turbo car, but that might be my...

    Why are you swapping the wiring harness from a 97? I definitely prefer the eclipse body, but feel free to pm me some pictures!
  10. WTB New here, looking for a clean 2G GS to buy

    I can't even find a normal clean GS, never mind a 10th AE, but that's some cool history to know!That build is pretty similar to what I'm after, but less concerned about it being stock. Wish I could get lucky enough to findo something like that! I think I'm 5 years too late haha

    Very interesting! Thanks for the info, I definitely did not know any GS's came with the high wing
