advantages, a lil bit more hp in stock form
disadvantages, well the engine costs quite abit for that lil bit of hp and .2 liters more.
im guessing thats right, i could be a lil bit wrong.

wrong..the 2.4 is NOT a direct swap into a 2.2 stock cav...your going to need wiring harness' ,motor mounts ,ECU
your best bet is to buy a recked Z24 and rip the guts out and replace it exactly how you found it in the reck into your car....OR sell your car and buy a Z24 all together...those are the 2 cheapest ways
and the disadvantages of it costing more cuz its .2L more? ,,,that doesnt even make sense..it has nothing to do with how many more litres it is that makes it more expensive..the 2.2, 2.4, 3.1, 3.8, 5.0, 5.8 are discriptions as to how much of a fuel to air mixture for combustion the engine uses
theres no real disadvantage to having a 2.4 except that its a DOHC and maintenance might be more then a OHV dont quote me on it tho...they might actually end up being the same to fix..
advantages would be if you like speed its alot cheaper to get more out of a 2.4 since it takes better to mods..and stock engine itself can compete with some of the best sports cars out there already which is pretty good.
but the point really being...if your going to perform a swap on your can cuz theres sentimental value i would buy a reck or write off with the engine and tranny left alone and rip EVERYTHING out of the Z24 and put it into your car. cheaper buying the car for like 500-800 bucks and getting EVERYTHING then paying 1000 for an engine--200 for the ECU--300 for the wiring harness--etc
