The 2.4 was 125-ish hp but the real kicker is the 144lb/ft of torque at 2400rpm. This is assuming you are using something similar to the original exhaust system and the original EFI system. So I think it gives you close to double the original hp at the wheel.

The 2.4 motor mounts themselves do not work BUT the 1.9l motor mounts use the same bolt pattern so you can simply swap your 1.9l mounts onto a 2.4l block and it will bolt right up. I did notice a few differences in the smaller bolts for the bellhousing but all of major bolt locations match up.

If you are looking for a 2.4 euro engine try and get one from an Omega A, they have less counter weights on the crank and a smaller flywheel compared to the later SUV 2.4 engines.
