Hi, I'm going to doing an engine swap on a '99 Voyager with a blown 2.4L. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not any 2.4L from 99 or surrounding years will work, of if I need to find one from a van. I don't have any problems switching any tin or brackets over, I just don't want to use the head if possible. I was thinking of looking for a stratus or breeze with a 2.4. Thanks for your time, Jared

Any 2.4L will work as I had to do the same thing. Good luck! It was a pain in the ass! Need any more help just post here and I will try to help!

Great, thanks. I ended up trading the van for a WC Allis Chalmers I had lying around, so hopefully I can find a relatively cheap engine to get it back on the road.

Locate the two front posts (left side of engine) on the front engine bracket and A/C compressor bracket. Lower vehicle and position cradle mounts until the engine is resting on mounts. Tighten mounts to cradle frame. This will keep mounts from moving when removing or installing engine and transmission.
