Stratus Engine Swap?

Ed, Check out

I'm sure someone over there has donethat swap.

ED-

Bolt pattern's the same, as are the engine mounts, etc. The sticking point would be the engine control module. The 2.0 module wouldn't happily run a

2.4, but a module for a 2.4 with automatic transmission would be less than happy running in front of a manual. If I had to pick, I'd use a 2.4/auto module and deal symptomatically with whatever effects might show up.

Of course, there are bound to be 2.4 litre engines and control modules available out of crashed PT Cruisers, by now...

actually the module may work and i say that because a friend in cali. has a

300m with a 3.5 and i put > If that was not offered back then ,,,, then there was no module back then

Dan:

I have a 2.2 turbo '85 LeBaron and the folks who mess with those motors have put together some amazing things. Mine has an Omni GLHS engine control module with an overlay harness that lets the car run the intake system from a '90 2.5.

Figured there might be someone out there who has figured out how to hot rod a Stratus.

I wonder if the head from the Stratus would swap on to a 2.4, allowing me to keep all the current controls?

Probably way too much work, but fun to think about.

Also, shoot me an email when you get a chance. I still have your Slant 6 clock.

No, the problem with running the 2.0 computer is that its spark and fuel curves are set up for the 2.0, not the 2.4. It would probably run, just probably somewhere between "not optimally" and "not very well".

Tried, but e-mail bounces "no such user" even when I delete the "NOSPAM". Go hit danielsternlighting.com and send me mail from there?
