Yes without a doubt its actually a pretty common swap the best way to do it is find a junkyard car with the motor you want so you can take all the mounts the computer and harness bascially everying under the hood.
take a look on neons.org in the forum for more help.
i believe the mounting is the same however the DOHC will have a better power output than the SOHC
If the neon was S.O.H.C, then you have to swap COMPUTER, AND HARNESS, AND ONE MOTOR MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE if the motor didn't come with it. AND VICE VERSA WITH DOHC TO SOHC, but don't know why you would do that!
No. I have 92gsi 1.8 and the axles are about a quarter of inch larger than a old sohc that i had but you can change the inner part of spindle and every thing else will fit
biggest problem you might have is the head type. If the 99 head is a SOHC, and the 95 is DOHC, you will need a DOHC hood. I would try and find a newer motor if you can. There were alot of small changes that were made between 95 and 97 that would make this swap rather frustrating.Type your answer here...
Generally, it is only possible to convert a SOHC engine to DOHC is if there is a DOHC version of that engine that uses a DOHC head on the same block as the SOHC version. However, there may be other complications here. For instance, if the SOHC head is a two valve head and the DOHC head is a four valve head, it will probably be necessary to upgrade your pistons so that you have sufficient valve reliefs for four valves. Otherwise, a piston to valve collision could result. In most cases, a better idea is to do a full engine swap to a DOHC engine. This way, you don't have to worry about such things as the availability of a DOHC head for your block or piston valve reliefs. Also, in most cases, a full engine swap is often cheaper, simpler, and necessary to be emissions compliant (if this is a concern where you live).
It depends. If there is a DOHC engine available that uses the same bottom end as your SOHC engine, then you can use that DOHC head. Just make sure that there are sufficient valve cutouts on the pistons. If there ISN'T a DOHC head available for your block, then a full engine swap would be a better idea. But even if there is, a full engine swap may be a better and more cost-effective option.
usually yes but you need to now if the del sol engine is a dohc or a sohc
Yes. If you look around on some Dodge Neon forums many people have made the swap.
Depends. If your going from a DOHC V6 6G72 motor to another it should be a direct bolt on. I dont believe the motor mounts changed from 1g to 2ndg so just make sure that your getting the same motor. - they made them in SOHC, DOHC, and TT. have fun! I did about 4 engine swaps so far. never again! Its the base model with the less powerful SOHC and im going with a DOHC complete with the ecu.
It is possible to swap the engines, and the V6 gives a noticeable improvement over power and acceleration. Just make sure the transmission can handle the V6 or swap the transmission as necessary.
No a dodge neon srt-4 has a larger engine (2.4L DOHC instead of the 2.0L SOHC) and has a small turbo charger and intercooler. for those looking to do an engine swap, the engine out of a turbo charged pt cruiser is virtually the same. Only the air intake manafolds are different. Engine mounts are the same for both the 2.0l and the 2.4l. So if your looking for at least a moderate power upgrade with options for more keep that in mind.
Yes. Edit, yes, but if you are dealing with a swap from the SOHC to a DOHC other parts are needed like the motor mount and ECM.
