Will a 1992 eagle talon engine interchange with a 1995 eagle talon?

Yes, they are interchangeable, but if you plan to put a 95 motor in a 92, do not do it. The 7bolt motors experience crankwalk, which is bad. But if you're putting a 92 motor in a 95, go for it! I just finished putting a 91 motor in my 95. It's quite a bit of work, and you have to know what you're doing. There are plenty of guides out there for a 6bolt swap.


What should a person know about eagle talons when buying the vehicle?

What year? Those cars are prone to ECU failures; find out if it has ever been replaced or remanufactured. Also, the 2.0 liter engine is prone to a condition called 'crankwalk', google that and read up on it. If it's a AWD car, there was a recall for the transfer case or rear axle due to it leaking fluid and locking up during driving (or something like that)...look up vehicle recalls on the NHTSA.gov website.
