Simple question.... what is involved with swapping a 2.4 into a base model 2 door cavalier? Lets assume the base model has a
5-speed
search.... been done alot...
8 psi with m62 and IAT under 100
While you're reading the tons of related threads, you'll basically need the transmission too as the 2.4 and 2.2 don't share them. It's easier if you keep the 5-speed, but I don't know if you can use the 2.2 shifter. You'll need the 2.4 ECM and harness(s). It's easiest if you have a donor car (or access to one) with all the fiddling things you'll need.. Good luck.
