ok my moms engine blew at 170,000 miles, didnt hurt the block its a plymouth 3.0 from a voyager minivan can i not just take the old engine and build it and then stick it in my car and will i need to get a different computer or will it just run with the 2.4 computer in it, also will the tranny line up correctly?
the 3.0l from a minivan is not the engine that we use for a 3.0l swap because it is a 12 valves engine and we are using a 24 valves engines
the 3.0l used for the swap come from mitsubishi made cars like the galant the third generation eclipse the stratus r/t sebring coupe
and you don't have a 2.4 in your avenger/sebring the 2.4 is a 4 cylinder engine found in the pt cruiser, the stratus etc
you may have a 2.5l however big difference plus the v6 engines , all of them , don't fit with the 4 cylinders transmission
if you do have a v6 the 3.0 from the minivan may fit but you will have an engine with less horsepower, the computer won't work and you will need custom exhaust job and wirring
