Just after I posted this came through in my e-mail. I belong to a group of techs (over 42,000) that share insights and problems. This is something to consider when asking "well then what's all the ranting and raving about the svx engine about?"

"This is the fifth Intrepid I have had in my shop that needs
an engine. The first one had 29k and a rod knock. Replaced
w/used engine for 3k. The second one had a gaping hole
through the side of the block at 41k miles. The two I
have now have bad timing chains and guides and all intake
valves are bent. All engines are under 59k miles and all of
them have two inches of sludge under the valve covers. The
local dealer has short blocks and heads in stock and the
parts gut says he sells one every week. How do you tell
someone they need a new motor for 8k when the car only has
59k miles? The market for used engines for these cars is
insane. Everyone know they are junk except Chrysler Corp -
who knows but is in a state of denial. I found a used
motor for 3500 with 10k on it. So my first customer is
going out they door for 4500.00 dollars with a used motor
and a 30 day warranty. Chrysler techs? What is the deal?"

You see, there are a number of 'bad apples' out there...

a poorly designed Chrysler product?!?!? no! he must be crazy!
the new turbo Neon will make a believer of you all!!!
