Well yes you can swap any engine into any vehicle that you choose. Swapping in the neon motor would require the PCM, wire harness, motor, trans, and possibly the key switch ( if your neon had the SKIM anti theft system, unless you go stand alone fuel management and eliminate the stock PCM ). The funny part about this is that Im considering the opposite dropping a chevy 3.1 and 5spd from a 89 cavalier z-24 into my 2001 Plymouth neon. I just think the chevy motor is way more reliable then the the 2.0L.
You can swap the engine from your 1997 Cavalier 2.2 liter engine to your 2000 Chevy Cavalier. The wiring harness and motor mounts should be in exactly the same.
NO,NO,NO...A MILLION TIMES...NO!
yep. Its all the same car, everything will swap
Yes, with custom fabrication. You have to swap the transmission, computer, engine, etc.
You can fit 3.8 but the biggest but still a really easy swap is the 3.4
Yes. If you look around on some Dodge Neon forums many people have made the swap.
no way i tryed that swap and didnt work ecu computer changed
Depends on what your trying to swap.
yes their the same engine the only problem you might run into is ac on the other car or your car if not properly done you may not have ac in your current car
If the Neon's are both the same year and have the same engine type then the PCM should swap out ok. If the engines are different then the PCM may not work properly.
i can answer that one the 3400 out of a 2000 grand am will slap right in. there are afew others including the 3400 out of the avalanche
Is it possible? Sure. But it's going to require a whole lot more than a simple drop-in swap. For one, the Cavalier is a front engine, front wheel drive car with a transverse engine, whereas the 2010 Corvette had an FMR layout with a longitudinal engine and a transaxle... you're not going to fit the Corvette engine into the Cavalier in a transverse layout, and you would have to lengthen the frame, hood, and engine compartment to get it to work in a longitudinal layout. Then you'd have to swap the transmission, as the Corvette engine would wreck the Cavalier transmission, you'd probably have to put a live axle in the rear of the Cavalier, and make it a rear wheel drive car... Let's face it, this isn't going to happen.
