My engine has a damaged piston and I have been advised that it may require a new engine. Can a similar aged 2.0L DOHC (Petrol) Neon engine be used in my PT Cruiser?

Really appreciate any advice.
forgot to say, I live in UK and my PT Cruiser is a 2.0L DOHC (apparently only made for the European market) so that is the basis of the question, i.e. can a UK Chrysler Neon engine the same size be used in my Cruiser?
 
Well I checked on the 2000-2002 Neon models are both use the 2.0 but the PT uses a 2.4 so the comp systems and sensors and plug in connectors etc may all be different.The best thing to do is call up some of the wrecking yards and ask them about getting another engine for the 2002 PT Cruiser and also ask them if any other vehicles have a engine that would go into your vehicle without any real comp or harness etc mods and as them about the Neon's.



Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way it's usually a lot easier and less costly to find another engine that uses the same mounts and comp systems and harness's etc.I'd recommend that if you've the time to wait place ads asking for a vehicle like yours that runs good but the body etc may not be good or look for a parts vehicle.Some wrecking yards or tow yards etc might have a vehicle like yours that their looking to sell you cheap, plus it's always real nice to have spare parts handy too.
