If you want to swap in an inferior engine with no aftermarket support... go nuts.

not my cup of tea! but my dad thinks the 3.0 v6 5 speed shadow was a fster car then the 2.0 neon. so.... with the 3.0 v6 youd have an awsome car. kinda... it would be like putting the 3.4 in the caviler! no aftermarket stuff for the motor but still differant

The later year 3.0 v6 that came on the stratus's and eclipse gt have the newer 24v engine. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Ondo ... 647377.htmhttp://videos.streetfire.net/video/Ondo ... 634709.htm

i've heard from a friend of a sandrail with a 3.0L that has both a Turbo and Nitrous. from what i heard he was trying to blow it up but it kept blowing out the spark before it went nuclear. i dunno how much power it was making though

Hmm. Swapping a 150hp engine for a 140hp engine that is also alot heavier. Certainly a novel concept.

Its do-able, but I would recommend doing something else, but 3.0 was a very good motor, just almost no after market parts for it.

The 3.0 is a good work horse, does a great job in my 94' Caravan dispite it's appetite for oil and fuel. Really dosn't belong in a Neon.

They are durable engines but you need to change the valve stems when it starts to use oil. It's probably not worth putting into a neon unless you want something unique. You can put a turbo on it or convert it to 24 valve dohc heads from a 3000gt.
I ported the heads on one and that really opened it up, I think there are/were headers available at one point. My daytona ran a 15.6

the ability to run true duals and not have to cut up the entire car is attractive

I think the late 80's Shelby GLHS and chrysler turbo I & II motors sound far more attractive in a neon shell than that dog 3.0!!!

TIII was tite, but that head was so over priced to repair when they cracked. Part of the reason most took the 2.2L block and adapted the dohc neon head. Far easier to come buy, and for hundreds less.
Some TD owners boosted their 3.0L. Did not see any running yet; just the setup.

It's been so long to remember the whole group, in the end they said it wasn't worth the sum of their work. as for the 3.0 v6, you could get rods and pistons for them but nothing off the shelf. If you could put it in, and make it look stock with full accessories, that would be remarkable. If you want to put it in because someone thinks it's fast, let them do it and save your time and money for something else.

Maybe a caravan turbo sleeper Yeah, what I love most is how people say the 3.0 is a POS. It's a very stout motor. The only real problem with boosting the 3.0 is the pistons. The rings are up way too high on the pistons and just a little bit of knock will kill it. The crank is good for whatever you can throw at it, the rods are forged on all 6gxx motors and can handle a ton of power. Forged pistons is all you really need and you can make a lot of reliable HP.

I always wanted to try and cram a 3.8L Caravan/T&C motor into a 1st gen. Mother's car wax had a promotional PT cruiser panel van with one in it. I'm sure a neon could be done. Might just have to install from the bottom. If I ever find a wrecked van and neon (along with the time, space, and extra money of course) I'm going to try it.

The 3.8 isn't any bigger then the 3.0. The engine would fit pretty easy. The worry would be the intake hitting the hood or the cowl.

Which still might not be that big of a deal, with all the guys around here making custom intakes. Then make a cowl hood of some degree. Oh well, maybe some day.

If your goal is to be different then a 3.0 in a Neon sounds like your thing. If your goal is to be fast, you're on your own there. I will say this a heavy *a#S!d^f* engine in a FWD configuration is always a bad idea...unless you never plan on going around corners.

Other then the fact that it weighs about the same ;)
