I say do it for sure, I would love to see that the car feels like with a little more power, what is that motor rated at? The Cavalier might have a better longer lasting trany as well.......Please let me know, post pics all that good stuff.....

My gf's car just blew the t-stat housing apart. If the head warped I'm totally thinking about this swap as I used to be into Cav's and know a lot of guys that would have the knowledge to help me out. Here's praying that nothing happened to the motor though. I got enough projects!!

I don't mean to be messing with you, but the Cavalier was made in the US and the Aveo was made in S. Korea. They have nothing in common. An engine swap is not possible.

Not possible? I think you mean not probable. I saw somewhere that the bell housings would bolt up.
