There are some reliability mods you can get. Rockers from 2.7 intrepid unsure of year I think 97-01? you would know if you seen them. The oil hole diverts the oil right on the cam roller instead of straight up.

Have you already did the 3.0 CAI?

2001+ that look like these:

You want the 2.7L style founf in 2.7L magnum cars (intrepid, stratus, and sebring)

Do the 2.7L also have the little ears that hang down over the top of the valve stem to keep it in place at High RPMs?

There are two different style 2.7 rockers. My other ones are in my toolbox at work or I would take pics of the difference.

You do not want the 2.7L lash adjusters that resemble the 1G dohc lash adjusters. They have a pin size hole. Just stick to pulling the 2.7L parts from 2001 plus cars. PT lifters shoudl be taken with tem as well. I have several sets if you have troble finding them.

2.4 swap easy junkyard find and noticeable power

how hard is it, i mean what all is involved? how much does it usually cost?

depends on how the junkyards are in your area. Mostly 300-400 for a complete engine, you dont need much more due to the fact your car is already setup for a DOHC. Go to Neons.org they have it in there engine swap section a little how to. Being handy with a wrench is a requirement though.

Also keep in mind that you'll need an adapter for the side motor mount, you'll need to grind away some of the front motor mount bracketry, mess with the cam magnet and you'll need either more fuel pressure to your stock injectors or 24lb injectors. You'll also probably be moved up a class if you're racing because of the swap. And you'll need to come up with your own solution to keep your PS if you want it, or buy one of the bracket kits that are made just for this swap.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but just keep in mind that it's not a direct swap in. If drag racing is your thing, then a 2.4 swap is a good way to get a lower powerband, more hp and torque, and an engine that's probably going to see more gains from each mod than the 2.0.

2.4L blocks in Maryland go for $110. New rods and main bearings, along with a fresh hone would get you off to a nice start. The oiling hole in the bearing plater should be bored to match the block, and the casting flash Roy addressed should be removed. Several littel things for some significant gains. I am doing it.

looks like im going to maryland for my block. Yeah theres many of things you can swap over the cams from your 2.0 to your 2.4. Also a easy cheap gain would be to remove the balance shafts from the block. Id do it if I were you.
