Hey everyone,

at the risk of sounding like an ass.. I have a question. My timing belt just went out on me 2 days ago and I will find out pretty shortly if the entire motor needs to be reworked/trashed. I might fix it, I might get a new car, or I have another option I'd like to see if any of you could help me with.

I was told by someone a while ago that he put a Dodge Avenger engine into his car. He told me that he got over 200hp when he put it in.. so that gave me the impression he put a 2.5L in it instead of the 2.0.

Can you guys give me any insight if it's possible to fit the 6 cylinder in there? I really don't know the dynamics on engines and I'd appreciate any help. Opinions on what I should do are also welcomed.

Thanks
Steven

it could be done with a lot of work and money... but totally not worth it IMO.

if you would like to be unique, i say go for it...start reading up on it...

yeah, i remember seeing a post a while back with a picture of a 420a next to a picture of the 6g73 (that's the v6 in the avenger, right?) i think tacoman posted it. maybe the transmission will agree with that engine, i don't know... it's certnly doable, but it would take forever and cost infinite cash to get it to work.

a much more ecomnomical swap would be the 2.4 it gives u 22% more displacement and it is very close to the same motor as the 2.0

search for 2.4 swap on the board u should come up witha alot of good info by me for the1bill

the 2.4 comes from a stratus, sebring, cirus, pt cruisar, or caravan...

the new SRT4 WILL NOT SWAP..

>caravan...

The Sebring is a 2.0L.. same platform as the Avenger, and Eclipse/Talon.

If your going to do the 6g73 swap, I would move towards the large 3.0 or 3.5L (from the montero I believe)
thats what alot of the v6 avenger guys are doing now

just a thought
