A friend of mine has a 98 Neon with the DOHC motor, and has a new rebuilt head (port/polish, came off a turbo neon I guess, as he says it's a turbo head). Obviously because the exhaust/intake ports are backwards, I can't use the whole head.
However, he's got:
-Beefier cams (Not sure of brand, but I think they're designed for the SRT-4, although that might be the cam gears)
-Adjustable cam gears
-2.4L valvetrain
-brand new head gasket
Around 5000KM on everything, and that's probably being a bit generous.
He wants $700 for the whole thing (parting his car as he bought a truck).
Are the cams/cam gears compatible with the 420A head on our cars? I personally don't see any difference in the head other than intake/exhaust being reversed, so they should be fine, right?
Not sure what all else is in there, or if it's any good to re-use a head gasket.
I've driven the car and it hauls pretty good. He ran it as an N/A build, but decided to call it quits when he kept breaking axles launching on the drag strip.
Anyway, I'm just curious if this will be worth the money (not sure what he'd want on individual parts, as he went offline).
I want to eventually turbo this car (undecided on the 2.4L block though, may just leave it as-is).
Any input is appreciated. I've been lurking the boards lately, trying to get as much info as I can. I'm still learning and would like to continue to do so.
Thanks. ~Scott
