Caravan engine in neon

Hey
I had a wild idea, do u think that a dodge caravan v6 engine would fit in a first generation neon. They are selling them for really cheap, there are pictures of the engine too.

Just a wild idea that would be cool, i know technically u can put any engine, but i am saying would this fit easy, like just weld some new motor mounts. It looks like in one of the pictures that it might have the same mount location.

People have actually put a V8 in a neon, but it is alot of custom work. The V6 won't fit easy and would also require alot of rewiring and custom work. Not worth it in my opinion. The biggest engine that will fit without a ton of modifying is the 2.4 engine from the stratus or PT and you can get those cheaper than that Voyager engine. About half the price actually.

It would be too much work putting that engine in a neon. also the engine is tuned for a van , and the gear ratios would most likely be out of whack for a neon.
