Karkov Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 dont try it, way to much work on a shitty car. If you want a something to throw that motor in get a miata or 240 your a shitty car! 240s are a rwd car so is a miata and 240s are known for having a ls swap in them. a neon how ever is not and i am a entry level fabricator my dad is not i wana go to school for autotech so a project like this would be a perfect start "You're* a shitty car!" would have been the correct way. Either way, it was a shitty comment. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

CleanSierra Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I just can't see the subframe taking the twist of that motor. The non overdrive has never appealed to me for a project vehicle. Injection and overdrive have always been necessities to me. I would think it's going to be a little tricky to find a suitable ride to drop that combo into. Maybe an old Z? Already RWD though. FWD I can't think of many candidates. A small car will get ripped to shreds. A bigger car will be heavier. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerballzs Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 The Neon subframe is weak. Same subframe of a PT Cruiser. Cannot take the torque from motor. Back in the 70's a friend put a 427 in the back of a Vega. Ran like a bat out of hell. Open your wallet and keep it open..

sayhuh? Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 ^^^ what the last two said. Money is going to be your worse enemy here. Can it be done? Yep, BUT how much is it worth to do you doing it? A FWD car (Neon in your case) will not be able to take on the weight and HP/ Torque of the new motor without a ton of fab work. You'd basically be stripping the car down, and rebuilding the frame, the front end, the rear end, etc. If your pot is endless, go for it. For example ^^ Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang06331 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cars are cars , if your a good fab and have a good understanding of drivetrains then you won't have a prob but do something cooler then a neon huh lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Cobra Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is fun but it is the money that will get you on this one but can be done , i would find a focus and get the rear set up that was built for one or use that set up or one from a solstice for the neon life goes one HP or DB at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Are YOU a good fabricator? Do YOU have a good understanding on drivetrains? This. I swapped my Pontiac grand am to a v8 and made RWD...never...again...will I submit myself to that torture. I copied a member from a completely different forum who was very helpful and did the exact same thing to his grand am gt except he added a blower. I added nitrous and blew the whole thing Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
