Hello all, new here
Just purchased a 2003 Sebring convertible
Needs an engine due to failed oil pump.
My question is simple. I know the 2.7l is a common engine and came in a wide variety of Chrysler vehicles. For my 03 what model year and vehicle can I use as a viable swap?
I stumbled across a thread from Google on here stating something about cam gears and flywheels.
Is the 2.7 from a concorde or 300 different?
Just trying to get my ducks in a row before I find an engine.

Thanks guys!

 

There was a significant change around 2004 to the way the computer controls the engine. Try to find an engine from a car as close as possible to yours. Stick with a Sebring or Stratus engine.

With computer-controlled engines, it's not like swapping an engine unto a '32 Ford anymore. The sensors and drivers must all match the computer's capabilities.

 

You may also want to check for a 2.4 L 4 cylinder for the Sebring as it's a better engine maintenance wise. 2.7s are an issue when it comes to water pump and other oddities.
