*sigh*, the time has come for me to start my 2.4 swap..

i have made a parts list: (if i miss anthing, please tell me)

-SRT-4 Timing Belt Tensioner- $6.35
-Underdrive pulley- ~ $74.60
-Late model Stratus alloy oil pan- On block
-Stratus 2g pump- on block
-95-02 Block- $100.00
-SRT-4 Enigine mount- $31.00
-1g Eclipse engine mount(drivers side)- $10.00
-SRT-4 waterpump- $77.00

Thats like around 300 in parts (note i already have injectors)

i pretty much think i have all the procedures down: (if i miss anything, please tell me)(my source is alain's write up)

-Remove Balancer Shafts, and patch the hole by tap threading and a bolt with red locktite
-Cut and weld oil pan
-Cut the DSM mount to keep the donut only, and use a piece of flat metal to weld a mount
-Turn the pistons 180 degrees, large slope should face the echaust side
-turn the cam sensor 90 degrees
-rewire injectors
-rewire coil pack, put 1 on 3 and 3 on 1


I think i have got all the information down packed, so next week im gonna go to the jusk yard and pull a block...

Oh, and the only thing i don't really know is if there was a difference in an 02 stratus block than a 95-99 block, cause i saw a 02 stratus at the junkyard and i would like to get that block since it's newer...but i dont know if i would run into any other problems....

if there's any suggestions that you could offer, it would be greatly appreiciated...thanks

I am not sure if its the way your wording it or that you got confused.

The pistons, one side is flat, the other has the large relief. the large relief goes on the exhaust side. if you look at the relief one, its not a perfect triangle, one side is longer that the other. The long side faces the intake and the short side faces the exhaust valves.




On the coil pack rewire, all your doing is taking the trigger wires and swapping them. If you dont, when piston 2 is on its compression stroke, cylinder one is going to spark.

dag, thanks for the illistration,

do think i need to buy eagle rods, for just running NA
and could i get 12.5 pistons for the 2.4 or will that be too much

oh, and im guessing that trigger wires, are spark plug wires?

Trigger wires to coil pack...you got it.

As for compression...12.4 might be a bit much depending on how you plan to drive this b%&^&. if you want to use pump gas then go 10.5 or 11.0

Eagle rods? well, from what i heard the SRT4 piston rod assy are getting expensive so if your going to spend some money go with eagle and know that you have a quality build.

02 motors have a better flowing head but a different crank position sensor timing code. unless your using megasquirt or another standalone you WILL NOT be able to use that block. check out neons.org/forums
theres a whole forum on the 2.4 swap with TONS of info there.

This post is 7 months old.....i am sure the 02 issue is not an issue now.

Besides all the 02 blocks are too expensive anyway. I am sure he meant 01
