the tranny is the same unless its the tranny from the z24. As far as the motor swap buy brand new and go with the ecotec its 2.2. Stock the motor will beet a stock civic Si.

i was wanting to see if there was something else but if not then a cavalier engine will do and what did you mean by rwd. well thanks and if possible try to be a little specific on the engine type and the year model you can thanks

you will want a parts car to swap from, you'll need alot of stuff it will take a good bit of time to do, and expense? how ever much you can get a complete parts car for.

basically just take a look at your current engines mounts... if they match then its all greens although youll need all the codes and stuff from your dealer.. but im pretty sure the mounts are exactly the same as they are the same generation
