I am looking into swaping out the motors on my SOHC 1.8l engine in my eclipse. Is it pretty easy to swap mine out with a DOHC, or maybe DOHC w/turbo? Does it take alot of after markets brackets and so forth? What's the best route?

people put 2.4 engines in the neon. "it's an easy install" people say.

This is a neon forum...try posting in the eclipse forum, they should be able to help you better over there. But yes, you will need special brackets and mounts probably.

Ugh I the one that is the 3g3 somthing somthing will only fit. I do have a question though why would you want to put a 1.8 in your car though?

I think he is taking the 1.8L out and wanting to put a new engine in. At least, that's what would make sense to me.
