99 Dodge Neon with DOHC

My name is Shaun I have a 1999 Dodge Neon with a DOHC. The reason i call it a DOHC is cause i cant find the damn name for the engine lol everytime i ask i get 10 different answers lol cause apparently i was told mitsubishi only has the 420a with the backwards top end haha but who cares about the name as long as i get to still work on the neons. Its what i love doing lol

Welcome, nice to see more neons.
Dose the car have a power bulge hood? Look at your cam cover(timing cover ?) and remove the inspection door of the cam gears. If there is two then its DOHC if one its a SOHC.
With a little work you could call it a 5.0 killer.

Lol i know its a DOHC but im just looking for what dodge calls the engine cause mitsubishi uses the same engine but the intake and exhaust is turned in a complete 180 and they call the engine the 420a DOHC im just looking for what dodge calls the DOHC instead of always having to say 1999 Dodge Neon CID L4 DOHC haha ill just call it the reverse 420a hahaha. i want to get a turbo for it right now but im just looking at the money issue haha as always but ive also got a chevy s10 with a 350 sb in it lol you want to talk about a major 5.0 killer haha

the engine in your car is a 2.0 420a

i own a 99 r/t

No its not. The engine code for the eclipse is 420a, the neon code is different and I dont remember it right now. BUT people often mistake the two motors so it does'nt matter. 420a low end parts work so

"420A" is what Mitsubishi calls the Chrysler 2.0 DOHC engine it purchases to use in Mitsubishi built vehicles such as the Eclipse.

No Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth built vehicle would have a 420A, aside from a joint venture vehicle like the Avenger.


D4RE ( looks like DARE )

daul cam 4cylinder rear Exaust

is what u have or S for single

The only official Chrysler designations for the Neon engines are ECB (2.0 SOHC), ECC (2.0 DOHC), ECH (2.0 SOHC Magnum) and EDV/EDT (2.4 DOHC Turbo). That's what you'll find on build sheets and in service information.

wow good info. does anyone have real production numbers for neons? R/Ts and ACRs impaticular?

ACR
1994(badged as 95) sedan 182 coupe 0 total 182
1995 - sedan 350 coupe 1143 total 1493
1996 - sedan 252 coupe 870 total 1122
1997 - sedan 410 coupe 1049 total 1459
Total - sedan 1194 coupe 3062 total 4256

There are no actual R/T production figures. The R/T was classified with the Highline/Sport, and there is no official breakdown on production numbers between models.

what was the first year for a dodge/plymouth neon? any idea of how many DOHC? I know the first year for the avenger was 94. it took the place of the daytona in the dodge lineup after 10 years of production.

I think they came out in 94 as a 95 but were sohc. Take a look at this link.

I had a neon made in 93?

take a look at this on allpar. i think that there might be a late 93?

YEs late 93 but still 93. I know that because the axles are different from 93's and 94's.

it would be cool as hell to get your hands on a 93.
