i have recently lent my 96 stratus to a freind for a while, and he blew my engine after he changed the oil and forgot to put the plug back in, so im looking to upgrade my engine and put in a 2.5L V6, i was wondering what, if any, modifications i am going to have to make if i try this swap.

Don't bother putting in a V6. The 4cyl engine is rated at the same HP and is a FAR cheaper engine to repair and service. If you dont belive me then go to the dealer and price out a new Distributor ( crap out after 160,00km) or injectors. Then see how not easy it is to do a tune up on the V6 compared to the 4cyl. You would also have to change engine and trans. controllers etc. not a cheap option.

Save your money and get a used neon SVT.

P.S. Don't let your oil change buddy do the work. hee hee.
