engine swap???

What kind of engines can you swap into a cavy. Is it possible to put maybe a V6 or V8 from some other vehicle into a cavalier??? I dont really know much about engine swaps, so i was jsut wondering thanx

what motor do you have now, what year is your car? auto manual. all this stuff will help figure out your question

speaking from experience: if u change the engine, be sure to change the electronics too to match, if not ull be seeing a lot of the check engine light due to mismatched codes...just a fyi reminder

you cannot swap a v8 into a 2.2l 4 cylinder engine bay.. although a small v6 is possible

sure you could, you know the old saying, with enough money you can do anything. theres a ford focus with a v8 in it.

lol you'd have to widen the entire car and then your have to extend the hood lmao i dont think youd wanna do all that when you can just buy a truck or something

the focus swap doesn't cost as much as you think it does

Acually They sell kits to do the Conversion for a V8 Cavi. A V8 would fit in there Quite nicely. 91-94 even easier. You wouldn't widen the car or lenthen the car you would Go back, into the firewall, just cut out how much you need and fab some metal sheets etc... and your on your way. (alittle more involved than that but ya know)

KIT for a Cavalier V8 conversion ??? I have looked everywhere, but can not find any Kit. Focus, yes - Cavalier, no . Please point me in the direction of those Cavalier V8 conversion KITS ................

mantapart sells a kit i believe

Look at the focus SR8 they put a cammer crate engine which is a 351 i believe in that anything is possible with money...
