i got a 420a motor and i heard that you could put a 2.4L block from i think its a stratus.....anyway...i was thinkin bout doin this to my car since i am about to take the motor out of the car and rebuild everything.....also does anyone know how much a block would cost and what do i have to do to make it run good

first, welcome to the board... i am still a newbie myself
first thing everyone will tell you is that the search function is your best friend around here (if used properly...)

now, i havent done the 2.4 swap myself but a few here have, and i have researched it myself and here's what i've come up with

the swap can be done but requires lots of custom fabbing..
custom made front motor mount
custom power steering bracket (unless you drop your p/s }( )
rewiring the harness ( i believe you have to cut and splice the whole thing?)
custom downpipe (i believe)
and some have experienced hood clearance issues

like i said, some of that may be bs as i am myself a newbie around here but that is what i have come to find about this swap so far (as i am still considering it myself...)

the only place i know that sells pre-assembled bullet proof blocks is Faster Than You www.fasterthanyou.com

the company that does their engines is vt out of the state of michigan.... they even post here on the board when they feel necessary (you can get info on that on faster than you's webpage or by search....)

im done typing now but welcome and i hope i have helped you some, and hopefully some who have actually done the swap might chip in as well

:thumbsup

Yeah there's some info flopating around here. Thisswap is not for the unprepared. You need to be able to custom fabricate and modify things. Be ready invest some time.

No one has come out with a swap kit, yet...

I know Brynden29 has done the swap. I think Skrilla has too. You may want to drop them a PM and see what they have to say.

Welcome no0b! :thumbsup

skrilla was the first. Bryndon has it, done by ADR and both bills from Got Tude are working on theirs. Amoung others.

Doesn't Bill have the 2.4 swap as well?

...be ready to fab some parts. Have your electronics ready and prepped for at least 3 major mods/fabs you will need to perform. Lastly expect the unexpected.

but once it's done...
