which engine is easier and better, the 2.4L ld9 or the 2.2L ecotec?
It's the same family of engine (2.4 is 2nd gen, 2.2 is 3rd gen of the Olds Quad design). Both are very good. The 2.2L is still being produced (in serveral different displacements too).
thanks. you just saved me a few hours of pointless research to findout that out. haha

GM also slapped the Ecotec name on a 1.9L Diesel, but that engine is made by Fiat.

yeah. engine, tranny, wiring harness.
best bet is to buy a rear ended J-body with a 2.2ecotec in it. then swap everything over to your car
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
if i have someone that knows alot how hard will rewiring be? were can we figure out how to rewire it
The tranny doesn't "need" to be swapped depending on what tranny you have now, and what the donor PCM was set up for.
AHDOL has wiring schematics for both cars, will cost $24 for both complete sets.
I have used them before, the schematics are very complete.
