Swapping a 2.2 into a Z?
Saturday, October 10, 2009 8:43 AM
I have a 97 5-speed z24 and it done threw rod number 3. I was wondering how to drop a 2.2 out of say a 95-97 into it. Will you need to swap computers or what? Will I need the 2.2 tranny or will the motor bolt to mine?

Youll need everything that goes with the 2.2.

Trans
Clutch
Engine Mounts
Wiring Harness
PCM
obviously exhaust work



For the price of all that i bet you can find a cheap 2.4 and swap it in though. At least around where i live that would be the case

I know in Fl LD9's are going for over $1000 with over 100k on them.

As said you would need motor, tranny, axles, ECU, and wiring harness, and exhaust manifold and downpipe.

Cause the 2.2 will last longer lol, but yea throwing a used ld9 would be much easier. I just finished my Z and the engine cost me ..... $0.00, but thats just me

Usually, because of the poor oiling in the area.
