Sratus swap help

Post by a_king413 » Sat Jun 14, 2014 5:43 pm

Hi guys, first off I'm new to the forum and I'm having a hard time finding things. Second, I have a few questions about putting a stratus engine into my 02 neon rt.

1.) Does it matter if the Stratus was auto or manual? Or will it still match my bell housing regardless?

2.) Which ECU do i use? the one from the stratus or the one from my neon?

3.) Other than the engine do I need anything else to successfully do the swap? i.e wiring harness, ecu, injectors, etc.

4.) Is it a direct fit into my neon? Or do i need to do any custom stuff and what about the hood? lemme know guys! Thanks in advance

The engine will bolt up to your trans, regardless.

Use the ECU / PCM from the Neon.
