6g73 swap into 2g Talon

[DxCR]

Out of boredom while I was working in an oil change shop a few years ago I started looking at how similar the engine bays were between the Sebring/Avenger and 2g. I later brewed up the idea to swap the 2.5 v6 in a 96 Talon with a 420a stock. It is pretty useless to do, except just for the fun of it. Does anyone know any problems I might run into during the swap? It all seems fairly simple. I have a complete 98 Avenger at my disposal, so all of the parts from it are available. I'll post some pics here in a few days if I can get them.

How about a turbo setup for that 420a instead?

turbo the 420a
(I have installed the star kit on one and it was a nice kit)
get the upper frame rail mount from a turbo car and put in a 4g63 (it is a easy swap I have done it before)
or the best swap
get a hold of a evo 4-9 engine and tranny wiring and ecu and it is a driect bolt in to a 2gnt (just have to lock it in to fwd)

I think it would be cool to say you did it. But you are right it is basically useless with everything out there that you can to your 420a.

Like use it as a boat anchor, or the base of a coffee table, or maybe a really heavy paper weight.

A turbo 420a is appealing, but I am really looking to just do something out of the blue. I work at CI Motorsports, so I see tons of them around. It's going to end up being my mom's car, and she isn't into making tons of power. She wants something she can drive around and show off every once and a while. There's a lot more import shows starting up in the area, and I figure this would be something different.

Good luck with that tranny for the 6g73. Those things are piles of trash.

I am going to try to keep the stock automatic from the Talon. Is that going to be an issue later? Installing an intake and some sort of muffler are the only performance mods I am probably going to make. That will keep the power close to stock, maybe even lose some, can never tell with me sometimes. It's going to be a lot of cosmetic work, all show and no go, something pretty to look at in the driveway.

Why not swap in a 2.4L from a Stratus, Breeze, Cirrus, PT Cruiser?

That is a great Idea.
