I have been reading on here about different motor swaps that people have done and i was wondering what some of you thought i should do with my 95 cav. right now it has a 2.2 and a 5 speed in it. i want to keep it manual trans cause i think it would be less breakage but you all have done this more. i am a muscle car guy but putting a small block 350 in it and making it rwd streetable would take a long time. So i started looking at motor swaps for it that have been done. \ i was looking at a 3400 swap and found one for a good price but i didn't know if there was a better swap to do. Thanks for your advise in advance.

If you're looking at a fairly straight forward swap with more cylinders and as little fabrication as possible, there isn't a better swap than a 3x00 in your car.

fabrication really isen't that big of a deal we fabricate parts all the time just trying to keep this a little tame i guess i want some more power but i don't wanna be breaking stuff all the time. i guess thats what i'm after but still be able to go have some fun at he strip.

I hear a 5 speed 3400 is pretty fun in these cars, I have a 95 completely stripped with a 3.1 and a 4t60e.. cant wait for a 5 speed..

yeah it should be pretty fun i would emagine. a whole bunch more power. i'm gonna daily drive it for the most part but it will be a blast. i have a body kit i picked up for it as well. should be a fun car when it is done.
