The 1st generation 2.0L DOHC was rated at 18 more horsepower than the SOHC, but required premium fuel to do so. There was a Mopar Performance PCM for the '96-'99 Neons, sadly the 2nd generation Neons had less performance goodies available for it.
I have seen non-turbo 2.4L engines installed into Neons for cheap. You would need a donor PT, Sebring, Stratus or Breeze to do this swap somewhat easily. Theoretically you could have 2 perfectly fine driving cars after the swap was completed. The mounts would be SRT-4 or PT mounts.
A stick-shift conversion even gives it a bit more snap and fuel economy if you currently have the 3-speed automatic.
