i just redid the head in mine and i am putting it back together. but when i bought the car, i got parts from a 96gs model. and my friend wants it to redo his talon. so what im probably ganna do is give him that one n keep his n sell it.

Well I need a head like yesterday If you got one I will consider it but the other one will work no problems! I got a 95 sebring with the 2.5l 6 cyclinder and I tried using a 2.5 out of a 96 stratus Identical motor rite never started Someone told me that they used a different ignition setup I just cant go through that again! Has anyone ever used a 97 Neon head on there eclipse?
