welcome to 420A discussion

Question: can the turbo manifold from the mexican 2.4 turbo be used on the 420A front exhaust version? Will it position the turbocharger well in this application? From what I understand it can be used on the neon rear exhuast style.

From what I've learned the 4dre(neon) and 4dfe(420a) blocks only differ by the knock sensor location(always on the intake side) and piston orientation.

Also the 4sre was also offered in cloud cars with a 5spd.

I think it will bolt up, but hood and/or radiator clearances might be a problem. Possible downpipe clearances too.

The 2.7 V6 is DOHC.

The 3.5 V6 is OHV (Pushrod)

Sorry for the "back from the dead" post but no, the 3.5 is not OHV. The 3.3 and 3.8 are. The 3.5 is SOHC as stated above.

The 2.4 and 2.0 do indeed use a different block but there is only one difference, deck height. The 2.4 block is taller. It is in fact the exact same deck height as the 2.2/2.5 motors whereas the 2.0 is shorter (done to curb any possible hood clearance issues).

Well, my point was that the four cylinders and the sixes are unrelated.

....so do 420a cams work in my srt-4 even though the heads are different from 2.0 neon dohc r/t's? I don't want worn 100,000+ miles parts in my ride.
