Sorry i had to move youor post, but you should get more responses on this forum.</P>
For my recommendations, i'd say go stroker. You can find a factory 2.4l 420A block in the Dodge Caravans, a few cloud cars, and other chrysler products. It's quite common, and quite cheap to acquire too. It will drop right into your engine bay, and gives 20% more displacement. Just get one from a junkyard, let a shop clean it up, and then drop it in. IMO, i think it's the next step for the 420A.</P>
