as some of you know im have a 96 sunfire im doing an ecoswap in. I found an ecotec engine from a 2005 sunfire with 20k on it for $550 is this a good deal. thanks
what's all included? just the motor? or the harness, pcm, bcm, trans?
$550 isn't too bad for just the motor though.

if you plan into a transplant of an ecotec, the best thing to do is to buy a complete car! a car hitted in the rear or side should be fine! you need a lot of part to swap an ecotec! I have a 1999 z24 with a 2005 ecotec swap with a turbo setup so i know what i'm talking about!

be sure of what you doing!

If you want the car to start, you'll have to swap the engine bay harness, PCM, dash harness, BCM, etc.... otherwise the PCM will never get the fuel password to start the car.
Basically, you're going to have to transplant everything from the 00+ cars into your 96. Have fun
I know I did when I did a 99 to 2000 swap.

You do not need the fuse box if it is a 2000+ car.

Well seeing as that is part of the engine bay wiring no reason to list it a second time. Could confuse people.
