anything is possible with enough money.....but probably wouldn't go in "easily" You'd be better off with a 2.4 4-cyl than a 2.5 v6 anyways

I'm pretty sure the 2.5 and the 3.0 are very similar and a couple people have put the 3.0 in a 1GN.

So yes it's possible.

You lose.

3.0L in a neon

It will bolt to the 3speed auto but not the 5speed as the bell housing bolt pattern is different.

I had a 92 Plymouth Acclaim with that engine ..... I can imagine what it would do in the much lighter Neon body

now to just squeeze a turbo in there...

thats actually pretty easy with a custom manifold that mounts the turbo in the crossover pipe. it would place the turbo right over the trans though :-/
