You mean -- How to post the picture ??atzottola wrote:Neon lower torque arm mount trimmed back and Stratus oil pan and filter clearance picture.
I have the engine where the old one was. the top of the engine needs rolled towards the firewall. Just wanted to show how much clearance there is with the torque arm mount trimmed. How do I do it?

The older '98 Stratus engine, is 'Non-NGC'; whereas the 2003-2005 Neon, was NGC.atzottola wrote:I'm struggling. I'm at the wiring part of the swap (what I feared most). If I use the Neon computer and wiring, and just splice in the engine harness plugs, etc. Will it run?
Remember the engine is from 1998 1st gen Stratus with an automatic trans. The Neon is a 2003 with a standard trans.
I'm really at a loss and just stared at it all day Saturday. I don't care what it looks like, just want it to run and if I keep all the Neon wiring/computer it would be nice if the gauges, diagnostic port and stuff worked. HELP!!
Post 2 basically spelled that out for you.atzottola wrote:What is NGC? Wish someone would have alerted me to this 30 posts ago. Would have gone a different route.

He also had a HG leaking coolant into the oil. That engine was a mess.gtxtreme19 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 28, 2015 11:32 amlook at Hul_kogan's post about putting his 2.4 in he had to remove the lower torque strut to let the oil filter fit. he ended up using a remote mount oil filter and put the mount back on, then had trouble with oil leaking.
