??I was told Beretta motors could fit nicely in my 89 cavalier...

this true? if so what year/size should i search for?

and do YOU have one?

Arn't they pretty much the same engine???

The Beretta and Cavalier share most driveline parts. With a complete donor car (ECM, engine wiring harness, etc..), and the CV axles for a Cavalier (the Beretta is wider, so the axles are different), the swap could be done, although it may prove frustrating.

whats the frustrating part?

and talk to me like i'm simple please.

you won't know the frustrating part until something doesn't fit/line up... too bad their isin't any easier way

your signature shows your car is a 2.0 4 cylinder. Swapping in a V-6 requires a lot of little bits and pieces you may not have thought of until you need them. That's the frustrating part. Also, the V-6 is such a tight fit, you may have to drop the cradle and put the engine in from the bottom.
