I think the regular neon motor, at least in the older ones in a SOHC.  Do some searching, www.2gnt.com or something, .org maybe, will help you.

Yes, that is true.

the DOHC 420A is the exact same one as in our talons.

Not entirely the same, there are a few differences

from 2gnt:

- The engine is mounted opposite in the Neon. Intake in front, exhaust out back. The intake and exhaust manifolds are different.

- The twin cam Neon motor is rated at 150 hp, while ours is 140. This is mostly due to a more aggressive intake cam. It has been stated that the 150 hp figure is a little 'optimistic' on Chrysler's part. Also, the engine in the Eclipse/Talon has apparently been tuned for more torque, undoubtedly because these cars are ~300 lbs heavier than a Neon.

No.  1Gs all run mitsu engines.  NTs have NA 4G63s.
