2.4 stratus r/t engine swap

[neon angel]

ok im getting a 98 Mexican stratus r/t short block for free ......

im refering to this

The 2.4 L (148 CID; 2429 cc) EDZ engine is very similar to the 2.0, sharing the same bore and DOHC cylinder head, but it has a taller block and longer 3.94-inch (101 mm) stroke. It also uses balance shafts to smooth vibrations and is built in Saltillo, Mexico. Output was up to 140 hp (100 kW) when production started in 1994 for the 1995 model year. As of 2004, output is 152 hp (113 kW) SAE (110 kW) at 5200 rpm with 165 ft·lbf (224 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm.

It has a cast iron engine block and an aluminum DOHC cylinder head. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with roller followers and features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft cast, and an aluminum intake manifold.

Like its smaller 2.0 L counterpart, the 1995-99 2.4 L suffers from head gasket failures around the oil passage restricter intergral to the composite cylinder head. The restricter typically separates from the gasket causing a leak. A Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket was developed to remedy this issue. A very rare few 2000-2001 2.4 L's with the MLS gasket have developed oil leaks.[citation needed] Other common leak points are the Camshaft oil seals and the Camshaft Position Sensor O-ring. An oil leak issue with the front crankshaft seal has developed in some 2004-2007 engines due to excessive crankshaft end-play. The excessive movement of the crankshaft pushes the seal out causing a leak.

Well, you copied the Wiki page almost correctly. It seems to be referring to the regular 2.4 (sales code EDZ) based on the application list at the bottom (none of the listed vehicles used the Mexican EDV engine) If it is a Mexican R/T engine, it should be a turbo. The block is the same as a EDZ, but with the oil feed and drain for the turbo added. They would need to be plugged if you aren't going to do a turbo.

As far as the swap, the same rules apply as doing a "1st gen" 2.0 or 2.4. There is some info about this here already.

You are going to have a much bigger project on your hands if you are trying to use this in your 2005. You will need to run Megasquirt since that block doesn't have the mount for your crank sensor. Unless you have the car it came out of to get all of the electronics out of it, sell the block and put the money towards some upgrades for your car.
