First off im not looking to get into all the swapping in a v6 or a ecotec(love toif sounds right n what intales) but more into swapping my old busted engine for the same engine. I was on my way home last week and broke the bairings on #1 connecting rod and you can hear it slapping around. the engine is totally rebuildable and I planning on doing it over the summer just cant do it right now.(would like to detail it and mod it so reason be). My option right now is to drop a running one into it for now and use that cause i need it up and going asap. My main questions are when i go to get the new one what do i gotta look for so its goes right in and i dont have problems with it cause its the wrong one. This family friend has located me a couple but they are as follows. One says it was from a 5 Speed rollover, another with Abs. ones from a grand am. and some others. I have a 2000 2.4twin cam with abs airconditioning, auto trans with OD. can the engines from a gear shift fit a auto(swapping on my auto trans) if im using most my parts can i just place the ac comp on the engine w/o it? Before i go rambling on what im getting at is what main thing do i need the new one to have for mine to swap smooth. any info beyond what i posted please ask ill be checking back alot. Any help would be great.
If it is the same engine it will work easily.
You can use an engine from a manual car.
