would it be easier to swap an eco or a LD9 2.4 into my 2002 sunfire 2200 ohv auto? and also which would be cheaper to do?
i would almost say a 3x00 would be about as hard to pop in there, as long as you do not mind wiring.

yeah but i think it would require alot more down time.

Not really. Due to the wiring that has to come along with a 3x00. Using a factory J-body engine and harness = plug-n-play.
Either way you go 2.4 or ECO would be about the same as mentioned. Personally I'd go with the ECO if given the choice. I know there's a lot of hardcore 2.4 guys, and some with a ton of power, but I'd say I would go ECO.

I'm a hardcore 2.4 guy, but truly in my area a Ecotec will be cheaper to do. The 2.4's are becoming harder to find, and when you find them they cost more, and usually with more miles. Easier to find a Ecotec with less miles, and cheaper. Again in my area this is the case.

its a daily driver. i bought it cause i like sunfires and cause it has low miles (96k). But i want more performance out of it, so a motor swap is probably a good start lol.
If youre sticking mostly stock with bolt-ons Id go Eco since it has more power out of the box but if youre planning on a crazy build its pretty much a toss up in my eyes.
