Check the length of the 740s, they may be too short. You should also clean them out before installing them. I used brake cleaner to clean mine. I put a piece of fuel line on the rail side of the injector and filled the hose with brake cleaner, then I put voltage to the injector to open it up while blowing through the hose. Just don't inhale while doing this.

The 740's won't work correctly. They come from the same year Neons as the 703's and look exactly the same but are about a half inch shorter. There MIGHT be a way to get them to work but not by having the injector rail bolted down in it's original position.

if there is any difference..what is it? between a 4.0L H/O. and a 4.0L. I believe it is the injectors, or did they just stop puttin the High Out put Emblem on the xjs in the newer years.. i always wondered. but didnt know exactly

All 91 and newer 4.0 engines are H.O. engines.

Make sure you don't limit your search to Neons. The 703's were in all kinds of Dodge and Chyrsler cars in the 95'-97' range.

90 and older Jeeps had restrictive exhaust ports and some other little details, plus they had the Renix engine management system. The 91 and newer 4.0 engines have better flowing heads and Chrysler engine management. The difference in horsepower is about 20hp over the 90 and older non-HO engines.
