No that is the motor you need. Search for a 95-99 neon DOHC. The SOHC bottom end will work but it has lower compression in it. Either motor you will need to reuse your head.

Stop using caps

I also believe the 95-99 Cirrus, Stratus and Breeze ran that motor.

Look for a junk yard that lets you come and pull parts. My mechanic found me a running 420a for $125. The one around here is called U pull and Pay.

Here is a link to there web site,

http://orlando.upullandpay.com/

They have other sites around the U.S. Maybe one close to you.

Good Luck

Yep.. I'ts not hard to tell, other than the valve cover says 2.4, they put the intake mani. on the front with a downdraft TB. What's up with that.

Other than that I'd love to drop the 2.4 in.

Why not try ebay or craigslist.org or something like that or buy the parts you need and rebuild it

Boosted 420a - Bring on the 4g63's

You can put the 4G63T in, but time and money prove otherwise...

Check ebay, the 420A is a common engine. It is found in the talon, avenger, neon and eclipse. check local and regional junk yards and auctions. You should be able to find one in short order

you can drop a evo 4g63 engine in. Its alot of work but less then the normal 4g63 because they share the same mounts. Plan for alot of down time. Hope you are rich too.

We will build you bigger and stronger
