what all did 2.4s come in?
I am a Newb to the 16v conversion. I dont really want to do a hybrid, but rather swap in a 2.4. I definately have the skills to do any fabrication necessary.
Where can I find a 2.4? is there an advantage between the 2.4 and the 2.0? which one is better than the other? Does the exhuast dump out on the front or rear of these engines? Also I would assume that there is a good aftermarket support for these engines with the srt-4.
Where can I find a manual tranny that will work?
I have been hearing that its pretty easy to swap in a auto, but I need a manual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got my whole engine from a 95 stratus I picked the 2.4 because I have a heavy daytona I think a 2.0 would do very well in a lighter vehicle but not sure.As far as fabrication is not much as far as motor mounts if you have a welder,electronics is the major factor you'll be faced with unless you go stand alone.As far as finding one I went to car part.com and found 3 within 15 miles of the house,bought the cheapest one 150.00 total for everything.kevinkaleb said:I am a Newb to the 16v conversion.

Wow, thanks. Is there any difference in the block between the 01 on up and the older ones? I know that the heads are slightly different, just want to know if the blocks are the same?

Yes there are is as a matter of fact. The front oil passage is different. http://www.bstockum.com/turboblock3.html Though if I decided to do a turbo 2.4 it would be the newer block. The 04 and newer are the same as the turbo blocks and have a T on them. I hope that helps.

I thought that I read that all of the 04 and newer 2.4 had the good internals is this correct?
I think that some one said something about the caravan with a 2.4 is that right?

Good internals? The Newer 2.4 has the same block as the SRT4, but the rods and pistons are different. You could get a caravan with a 2.4 in it, but they are more common in the cloud cars.

I'm sorry for the last post being non intelligent, anyway swaping a 2.4 would nee new acessory brackets no. I thought someone said that the caravan had the ps in rear and alt in front so this would be easier?or are they all this way?
For an auto, the 96 and newer is better so 04 would still be the same?
Are the cranks different on the srt's compared to the other 2.4's on 04's
Thanks for the info

You definately dont want to use the rods or pistons from an NA 2.4 they will break for sure.You can use t-2 rods and srt-4 pistons just make sure your tune is right the piston are hyperutectic better off with forged the crank is plenty strong.

For $240 ($60 ea) you get four new forged pistons with four forged rods attached from the SRT4. The SRT4 forged rods are just as strong if not stronger than the T2 rods in my opinion. :thumb:
The pistons in the SRT4 arn't forged, they are cast!

Like I said the srt-4 pistons are hyperutectic not forged not even close they will be destroyed very easy chrysler has very good electronics to keep this from happening.As far as rods to each there own either will work I choose to go with pauter billet rods they will handle 700hp.88-16V-Lebaron said:For $240 ($60 ea) you get four new forged pistons with four forged rods attached from the SRT4.
