    I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas or info anything would
    be appreciated. I have a 95 Voyager with a 2.5 out of it and my
    question is is there any difference of a 2000 Sebring 2.5 engine
    block compared to a 95 2.5 block?


    Thanks

  3. That's not true. It's much more accurate to say "it wouldn't be
    cost effective to make work even if someone gave you the engine and
    the van for free along with a fully equipped garage, hoist, and tooling,
    and 3 months of vacation time for you to just hack away on it"

    People have gotten stupider combinations to work, with enough
    money and effort.

    Chrysler has sold two different types of 2.5L engines (I4 and V6), and
    this causes some confusion. If your Voyager has the 4-cylinder engine,
    then the modifications to changeover to the V6 is more trouble and cost
    than it is worth. The 95 Stratus had the 2.5L V6, and I think it was
    used up through the 2000 model year. If your Voyager has the same engine
    then it seams it should work, you just have to make sure the injectors
    and sensors are compatible with your PCM. Why not rebuild your old
    engine? I have over 138,000 miles on my Stratus V6 and it still runs
    great. I have taken care of it, and now I am reaping the benefits.

    Since the 95 2.5 is a Chrysler-built inline 4 cylinder, and the 2000
    Sebring 2.5 is a Mitsubishi-built v6, yeah I'd say there's a pretty big
    difference!

    1995 was the last year for the 2.5 4 cyl in the vans. The six cyl
    engines in use for vans that year, were the 3.0, 3.3, and 3.8.

    For 1996, a 2.4 4 cyl replaced the 2.5 4 cyl.

    1995 was the first year for the Dodge Stratus, and a new 2.5 six
    cylinder was available as the only V-6 offered. It does cause some
    confusion.

  7. I think the statement it won't work was more concise. But yeah there are
    some people out there who have no concept of time value and will toil away
    for weeks to accomplish 500 dollars in value (ie restoration people).
