98 neon coupe 2.4 swapped $1300
Name: welford
Location: richmond, varina, sandston
Means on contact: PM or this thread
Trades: let me know what you have
Price: $1300obo
selling my modded 98 neon coupe. it's got a 2.4l engine swap that runs great and pulls hard for what it is. car started out as a base model sohc and 3.55 fd trans with a/c as the only option. car currently has no a/c or power steering. if you need to know something that i don't have listed, ask. i've done every mod to this car. it was 100% stock when i got it except the wheels that were on it
mods:
engine:
2.4l bottom end from a 97 caravan
99 r/t head
2.0 cams
2.7 valvetrain
kirk longtube header
iceman intake with k&n filter
balance shafts removed
pt cruiser clutch
neon r/t trans- geared the same as a 5 speed dsm (3.94 with .81 5th) trans but has a cable clutch instead of hydraulic
modified wiring harness to work with 2.4l swap
filled motor mounts
solid adjustable bobble strut
ebay udp with proper belt
exterior:
oem fog light bumper and oem fog lights added
fog lights tinted yellow
oem spoiler
oem passenger mirror delete
oem molded mudflaps
oem antenna delete- you would need a new antenna with wiring all the way to the radio if you wanted to put a radio back in it
interior:
blue squiggle seats from a 99 neon r/t
leather steering wheel from same 99 r/t
all power options added- locks, windows, mirrors
lighted visors, rear view mirror
2g neon center console, ebrake handle
srt-4 shift knob and boot
pt cruiser shifter rod
car has an oem radio delete- it can be removed
suspension:
eibach sportline springs
urethane bushing kit on the front- i have the rear but i havent had time to put it on
new struts and ball joints when springs were put on about 5k miles ago
22mm front sway bar
16mm rear sway bar
car has been wrecked pretty hard at some point before i got it. it has been repaired but i don't know who did the work, dont know when it happened. only thing i know is it was hit in the passenger front corner. car still drives straight and doesnt eat up tires. it's been reliable and only let me down twice in the 2 years i've owned it. once because the fuel pump died and once when the udp came loose and started making a grinding sound. didn't know it was the pulley until i towed it home and checked it out.
car runs and drives great but does need a few things:
clutch cable is stretched. i have one to go with the car
exhaust needs to be done a bit better and has a small leak to it
needs headlights- currently has some, but like all neons, the headlights suck.
trans has a slight leak around the shift levers- this can be fixed, but i havent had time or motivation to fix it. i just check it from time to time
it's a 12 year old car so it does have some dents and scratches but nithing that can't be fixed with a little time
pics:
interior was dirty in this pic
when i was building the engine
i've had a project log for it going on another site. about halfway down are pictures from when i first got it and on the last page are the most recent pictures. only difference is it has crappy stock headlights now

Re: 98 neon coupe 2.4 swapped $1600
car still gets 30-35 mpg depending on how you drive. a standard neon trans with the 3.55 gear ratio( commonly found in sohc neons) could also be put back in for a bit better mpg. now asking $1200
