2.3 to 2.4

Hey everyone, got a question, i know it sounds dumb but still. My dad is really good at working on cars and i got some money since im only 17 and i work all the time. But would a 2.4L Twin Cam engine and tranny fit in a 95 z24 cavalier? What all would i need? And would this be expensive to do if i found a junked car with good engine and tranny?

Correct me if I am wrong but dont the 95+ z24's come with the 2.4?

95's came with a 2.3, and i cant seem to find one..timing chain snapped and i guess broke a rod or something, put new timing chain on sparkplugs redid the timing and it knocks like CRAZY.

check your lifters

if its more of a tick then a knock, it probably is your lifters, thats nothing to major, but if its a solid knock, its probably a rod, like you said

but is a 2.4 swap possible?

yes so is a v8 :uhoh:

what all would i need?

alot

alot
Wow way to help him out! :loser:

If you cant swap in the same engine as you are taking out, I wouldnt bother. It will be more hassle than its worth to swap. Either way good luck.

Actually a 2.4 swap shouldn't be hard at all. If memory serves, they use all the same mounts. I mean, they're the same BASIC motor. Hell, you should be able to easily swap in an older HO or W41, too.
