6G73 Swap?

[SteveLawrence]

After browsing your forums, I couldn't quite find my answer, but hopefully someone will know.

I am the current owner of a 1995 Eagle Talon ESI. I acquired a 1995 Chrysler Sebring LXi last summer, and used most of the interior in the Talon, fog lights, etc. To my surprise, most of it fit, and made my Talon look much better than what it did before. I'm not looking at swapping out the stock 4G73 engine for a V6 6G73, but there are a couple of things that have me kind of hesitant. First of all, I've done the measurements according to DSM, the engines are on the same angle, etc. and the motor mounts are the same. The thing that worries me is that the Sebring comes with 2 computers, but the Talon only has one. The wiring harnesses are similar, but the Sebring has a second hookup for a computer. So, I should be able to swap the wiring harness out of the cars for each one, then hook up the computers? Second thing I may have an issue is, is that there is an automatic transmission in the Sebring, which I like, but I'd much rather prefer to keep my 5-speed in the Talon. If the transmissions bolt up, can I use the 5-speed on the V6 engine? I figure if it bolts up, then it should work, correct?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I would like to get the 6g72 out of the 3G eclipse and drop in mine. I have read that it is a straight swap with the 6g73. I just haven't had the funds to do it. This summer when my son turns 16 I will be giving him the car. I also was going to look into swapping the 3G eclipse 6 speed transmission. Anyone know of a cheap place to buy the 6g72 SOHC?

Seems like a PITA.

Or a nice father son project for your first car.

The v6 avenger/sebring motor is a dog If ive ever been in one..My moms n/t 4g elantra probably has bigger balls,and gets double the mpg,in an auto.

Hence the 3.0 swap I posted bud, I've heard it is a pretty significant increase in all aspects.

I was just wondering why not a straight up father son nights/weekends,summer project yaa know?

That would be a great father son project. Know where I can get a 3.0 cheap?

I did this swap a few years ago. For anyone that cares, there may be info on it at my cardomain page. http://www.cardomain.com/member/98black_eclipse/ I haven't checked it or updated it in a long time.

Start searching the j-yards for a 2000+ eclipse, 2001+ stratus and sebring. Like I said, the write up I posted shows everything needed to do this swap, including everything you need to transfer from the 2.5 to the 3.0.
