take out your pass side seat it should fit in there..i fit my eco in there..phil
take the head off and it will fit...
yea i figured if i took the head off but the motor is complete and i didnt wanna take anything apart until i got it on a stand in my garage but if an ecotec will fit without the back seat then the LD9 should to i will just throw a tarp in the back in case of fluids thanks for the info phil

An LD9 fits just fine with the head and oil pan and just about everything else all on it. Only things I removed were both intake & exhaust manifolds, as well as the fuel rail. Fitting it in is difficult - we pointed the oil pan at the back seat and the intake side of the engine down, then just kinda dropped & pivoted it in. The oil filter proved to be a bit of a pain, but we ended up getting around it.
I picked up the engine on the eastern side of Pennsylvania, and drove it back to mid-SE Michigan. It stayed there for a couple of months actually, without
too many problems. There's a small hole from wear in my spare tire well and it bent the trunk latch, but that's it. Easily fixable.
