This is an uncommon Dodge Neon engine swap! A Chrysler 3.8 V6 motor swap into a 2001 Dodge Neon R/T! This Neon has a Chrysler export center grille, 00-02 Neon snowflake wheels and otherwise looks like a regular 2001 Neon R/T.
Allpar.com shows that the 3.8 V6 produced a wide array of horsepower and torque depending on what year it was from. We believe this 3.8 engine is from roughly the 95-00 era. So, thats good for 166-180 hp and 227-240 torque. Wow, if a Neon like this had 180 hp and 240 torque from a NA engine it would be a lot of fun!
