Honestly, if you must ask, then don't do it.

The 2.4 is a bit more torquey, and works to spool a larger turbo quicker (Or break the little guys-14b's. Just ask kevin-santa) The block itself came from a mitsubishi expo minivan. I think the engine block says g4cs er sumthing like that.

Reliability won't be anymore of an issue with the 2.4 as it is with the 2.0.

Yes, I am sure LSE, MAPerformance, and DB Performance can build ya the motor, even with a 7 bolt head.

for your power output, I honestly would look at the 2.0, with a fresh rebuild, even with stock parts. You can save soo much money, by using those parts, and spending the money elsewhere, like on cams, smim, turbo, etc.

What many DO NOT understand is the fact you all think that the motor must be built to make power. A DSM was raced for a full season with a STOCK shortblock, stock head, with the exception of cams and headstuds. made 585whp-ish. The motor is more then willing to take the 450 you wish to throw at it. Take the 3 grand you'd spend on the motor, get a larger turbo, and other supporting mods, and make the power just as reliably on your stock bottom end, as you could with it built and stroked.
