I just got a 01 2.2 cav. I want to swap the engine but I dont know anything about cavaliers. I would like to put in a 6 banger if anyone knows one that will fit. The car is currently an automatic so I would like to rip everything out and find a 6 cylinder with a 5 speed all ready bolted up to it. Any suggestions? I just want to know all my options before I commit to the project. let me know so I can keep an eye out for a donor car. I dont need a engine that pulls crazy numbers stock if it has decent aftermarket options. If anyone knows any web sites that will help me out let me know because I cant find anything anywhere on this @!#$ car! What are the most popular swaps? I would like to keep it n/a.

read the sticky AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE and search most all the basic info for the swap and the auto to manual swap are out there.
