dude... I was wrong. It was the 01-02 R/T with such a setup. The 03-04 R/T had the 3.94... my bad for the tard comment haha. Anyway I might pick up that pt t350HD from the guy that posted in my wtb thread. it's a 3.94 with the .72 final. 50 miles on it and it was yanked from the car to convert it to electric... not an .81, but I don't think it'd be bad actually. I'll prob still have you keep an eye out for the axle(s)?, cables, master cylinder, etc to get the swap done since I'm sure you can find the shit cheaper.

obx modding sounds good.

yeah 01-04 mag motors have the t350 hd 3.94 .81. from 02 on they came factory with diff pin savers. while 01s did not. and they are all hydraulic clutch bell-housing. which i why i put a 1gn cable bellhousing on the 2gn trans..

but that pt trans should be good for you even with the .72 5th gear youll rev a lil lower on the highway in 5th then i will..

btw heres the trans chart for neons, pt cruiser, stratus. just click on the tab in the lower left to view neon,pt, srt and stratus specs..

and whatever other swap part you need ill grab you just let me know..

got my energy race inserts installed last nigh.. holy vibration.. lol.. i knew they would be crazy but damn.. also relized how bad the old mounts where.. the motor sits up higher in the bay now since theres no sag and throttle response is so much better.. puts that power down.. now i have to cut some bracing out on the hood to let the hood sit down flush, and i havet o let my ocd of noises inside the car go.. cause now everything rattles with the mounts and balance shafts deleted.. cant wait for cams. lmao..

Cars for sale again.. with a 3.55 or 3.94 perf b trans swap. buyers choice and im keeping the 2gn trans for the 00 i have..

This is you... arguing with yourself.

"Yea, I know that hipster, his ride's the pimp bomb fo' sho."


Glad you're keeping the car man, it really is almost the way you want it, and with a few more mods, it'd be perfect. But seriously, GLWS.

Also bbs rs reps are in the near future

Last part is winter time car gets stripped out, redoing it all.. Shaving the bay, notching/cutting and setting the front up to sit low as possible. Re painting the whole car. Not sure on paint color yet. Gunna order victors tension arm setup as well. A buddy of mine has spc adjustable rear arms that i keep bugging for too. Basically the car is going all out, balls to the wall..

hoping for next spring and show season to be ready and all complete. Main goal is carlilse or bust..

possible.. dunno yet till its closer

Well i was going all motor 2.4 but after i sat down and thought about the cost of it, i.t.b's and ms3.57 setup with lc1 wideband.. i said f that and went on a search for a wrecked srt-4 again.. It my final choice.. i cant pass up the power and being able to use the drive line, big brakes,gauge cluster,ect and have a complete srt-4 swap into a 1gn shell.. Then sell off the parts i dont use, extra stuff i have, sell off my old 2.4 and 3.94hd trans setup and make some of that money back to pay for the car cost and maybe some toys for the 2.4T


But as of right now.. i have my 2gn 3.94 .81 hd trans going to the local shop to have the bearings, races, axle seals, phantom grip lsd installed and ready for me to put in the car (rather have a pro do it and for the price hes giving me.. cant pass it up). Im placing my order for an amm 90 less intake this weekend.. I have a 58mm t.b sitting here along with my ported dohc upper, mopar ecu, new oil pan gasket, rear main seal, srt shifter on a 1gn base, new oe clutch, red boogers, srt pedal covers, 2gn console, 2gn ebrake, pt power steering bracket, sport coupe steering rack (yes im going back to having pw steering) and all the 5spd swap parts i need..

and like i said

winter time the car gets stripped out, redoing it all.. Shaving the bay, notching/cutting and setting the front up to sit low as possible. Re painting the whole car. Not sure on paint color yet. Gunna order victors tension arm setup as well. A buddy of mine has spc adjustable rear arms that i keep bugging for too. Then add the complete srt-4 swap into the mix, bbs rs reps. should be sick and hopefully ready for next years show season come end of spring

well tomorrow my 1gn/2gn 3.94 trans goes to the shop to have its new bearings, races, axle seals put in along with shimming the diff. I got my Phantom grip lsd kit today.. putting in at work tomorrow during lunch. Also got all of my mtx swap parts finally. picked up an acr 16.1 steering rack with the mtx subframe sunday.. also pulled a couple of pt pw steering brackets too incase they break.. putting pw steering back in.

hoping to do the swap this weekend the 17-19th.. should have everything. mopar mtx ecu, boogers, srt-4 shifter on 1gn base, mtx subframe, shifter cables, pedal assembly, clutch cable, neutral safety switch, new oe clutch, 2gn 3.94 .81 5th gear trans with the p.g lsd mounted on a 1gn bellhousing and mtx axles.. should be set correct.. nothing missing in that list that i saw

btw pics of the mtx subframe, acr rack, p.g lsd and 2gn 3.94 trans, 1gn bell housing

lsd installed.. trans dropped of today

I'm still waiting on my trans to get back from the shop. so i cleaned up my mtx subframe and acr 16.1 steering rack. threw a lil paint on them and then installed my new tie rod ends. also modded my 1gn pedals so i could fit the srt pedals on them. everything is waiting, ready go.. other then the trans..

anyways here the rack/subframe all cleaned up.

wow... that looks really good Ryan. I may need your skills!

Cant see the video its private.

Congrats on the trans swap, manual makes the car WAY more fun

yeah cant figure out how to post it from facebook to here without ppl having to sign in.. hey if you got a f.b add me..

I can see your lsd not working long because once the phantom grip wears enough off the gears they will not lock and just spin.

I don't have faggy mybook or facespace... youtube that shit.

Also, for some reason, I actually like the carbon fiber pillars. Looks good and I bet it feels even better
