I just wanted to see how many people have or are currently doing the swap and what your progress is. My buddy and I are doing it on his 98 ESi ans so far the 2.4 block is at the machine shop being assembled with PT Turbo pistons (should have it back by next week), and we finally got the 2.0 out of the car last night. Hopefully we can start fitting the block in the engine bay by next week. How far along is everyone else?

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Basically the same setup as I'm building
a 2001 Caravan 2.4. fitted with a a 2001 Stratus oil pump and stratus modified aluminium oil pan, balancing shaft removed
Internals: Rods, Pistons, rings and bearing set of the PT Cruiser turbo
PT cruiser Alt bracket and PT Cruiser engine mount
2.0L head with the stock exhaust cam and possibly a #18 crane intake cam, third generation springs and rockers set
one of my turbomanifold, with my IHI RHB-52 turbocharger
Ford #30 injectors, walbro 255 hi-pres, Vortech SFMU

The receiver car will be my 95 Avenger

Wow, you guys are all well on your way for the swap. I'm still saving and looking.

I swear it's not easy finding a 2.4 around here. Maybe this spring will bring better luck.

Hey Alain whats the difference between the PT cruiser Alt bracket and engine mount and the brackets that came on my 98 Stratus motor, what are the benefits of using those instead?

Well the PT Cruiser has its alternator in the back like our car
and from the pic I have seen it looks like the pt cruiser engine mount will be easier to adapt to our car, and the mount is also the support for the power steering
I didn't bought those brakets yet I just started building my engine

So far there is me, MotoFool, alain95i4, and The1Bill, that are in the process of swapping and supposedly Skrilla has already done it. Anybody else?
