i might have a chance buying a 95 eclipse (non turbo) with a blown motor, cheaply. where could i get a dropout motor cheap? i’d probably just put a new motor in this car then sell it. how much do you guys think a dropout motor would cost? ---

probably pretty cheap since they’re not really sought after ---

Doubtful that your going to get more then 2grand for a 95 non turbo. Its probly not worth your time. ---

the eclipse n/a motor goes for an easy 800-1k from a wrecker. motors are hot sellers. best bet is to find one via private party. and the car itself, i could see if getting 4k. look at how many girls want that car, and parents buy it for them. ---

> [@unicorn](#): > > I think the intake/exhaust manifolds are backwards if im not mistaking. The neons have the exhaust manifold on the back of the motor. Where as the eclipse has it on the front. That’s correct, the ports and chambers on the head are mirrored, and the manifolds are completely different. ---

Short blocks are identical. Heads are where the difference is. The head on the Neon is reversed from the Eclipse. Otherwise all is the same down to the tranny. Only difference are the 95 Neons that came with the Non-modular clutches. ---

No they are Hydraulic, the difference in the 95 Neon is that the clutch is non-modular. The rest are all modular. ---

Ok, neons have a cable clutch, so a bellhousing swap would be in order to use one on the other. The rest aren’t all modular, as '96-99 cars built in Mexico were non-modular. ---
