I'm not sure what the mount on the engine looks like on the SRT engine. I'd assume it's the same bolt pattern and think the regular setup would work for it but not 100% certain. Got the engine already? Take a pic of the timing belt area without anything in the way.

It's a 2.4 motor.

What 2.4 motors use.

you need the 2.4 adapter... the rest is all 2.0 stuff.

could you use a dohc mopar ecm to run a srt4 motor i was thanking about geting one and swaping the turbo for a long tube header and a hell of a n20 shot

yeah you have to use the 2nd gen passenger mount well at least thats what a guy over hear did it just welds to the strut tower area

Can't use a Mopar computer, the 2003-up engines (all SRT engines) have a different crank trigger pickup and 1st gen computers can't read it.

Don't need 2nd gen mount stuff in a 1st gen either.

ok thanks guys for the help so i guess it would be safe to buy the 2.4 mount adapter from modern performance and some better bushings for my other mounts thanks agian

but as for the computer you need a new computer from an srt that has never seen a key before im prob going with a stage 1 computer with my swap

That or megasquirt since they released the NGC code. It's been working fine on Erick's Neon for 8 months or so now.

Bumping this for my own info...

I know on the passenger side I use the stock 1GN mount on the frame, with the adapter and the 2.4L mount on the motor.

I know that I should "flip" the trans mount upside down and remount it (Is that right?)

I know that you should use a booble, preferably solid and work around it with intercooler piping.

I don't know how the Front mount works.

Pics and part numbers would be a great help with the FMM.

use the 2.0 front motor mount and cut around the sides to clear the oil pan, I don't have any pics or anything since I still have to pick up my 2.4

Read the how-to I posted in the how-to section. There is pictures of what to do with the FMM.
