Yes, it can (assuming both engines are 2.0 liter Single Overhead Camshafts). Your best bet is to use a Chrysler "Head-gasket" set, which will contain a new "Multi-layered Steel" head-gasket that is far superior to the original composite (paper) gasket. It will also include all the required seals you need to stop any upper engine oil leaks. You'll also need a can of Mopar Gasket Spray to help the head-gasket seal better. and also a camshaft seal retainer (this was a technical service bulletin), your local Chrysler dealer should know about this. The parts are a little bit more expensive, but much better quality. Also, you'll need to check the cylinder head for corrosion, these heads had a tendency to corrode around the water ports if the coolant was not changed per service schedules. If in doubt, take the head to a machine shop and have it checked (which is a good idea anyways, to check for warpage). About .004" can be planned off the head and still be usable.

This is a common problem with this engine and yes this will get worse.The oil passes throught the head gasket under pressure to feed the cam and lifters,there is not any quick remedy to patch it that will work for any amount of time.Also check the drivers end of the clyinder head,you will find a plastic cam cover that has an rubber o-ring in it that causes a leak.If you were to have the gasket fixed you could resell for a better price.

No, the head bolts will not line up the same as the '95

No. The engines are too different. Call a mechaninc to verify, but as I remember, it isn't that simple. Cheers.

call a local auto parts house they will tell you for free but you will need to know engine size
