just a quick question
I was looking around and noticed that the ion redline engine is going to be about 4k dollars. I was wondering if anyone knows what it would take to swap it into a 91-96 SC2(I have a 96 myself)
I don't have the money now but I think that would be an interesting car to have. I'm guessing it would be pretty involved but I only have a somewhat general knowledge of cars.

Anyone know of an equivilent engine for LESS THAN $4,000 that would drop in?
I know Four Thousand Dollars worth of mods would probably give your Sc a cool enough look and feel with NO2, Turbo, and Lots of engine and "look" mods Damn that sounds like a lot of money though... I haven't spent that much buying a car as of yet, and I've gone through a few (V8 Pontiac Bonneville, V6 Chevy Corsica, V6 Ford Taurus, V8 Dodge RamCharger, and my current 4 cyl. Saturn SL1) all for under $2,000- nice cars, but maybe I just got lucky

I was just thinking that would be a nice way of getting some more horsepower and ensuring that your car will last a lot longer since in a way you'd be getting a new car. old body but new engine(and I'm assuming transmission).
it's doubtful that I would do this but I think it would be an interesting thing to see.

Re: just a quick question
other then the SOHC and the DOHC, nothing with swap in without a lot of work. for starters the Ecotec won't even fit between the rails of the S-series engine compartment.

yeah, it would be cool to see, but then again so is the ion redline... or a saturn with turbo and NO2 as mentioned before...
Sorry to see that it doesn't look like it will be a drop in or anything, sierrap set us straight again LOL

Re: just a quick question

NICE!... That is a Saturn from hell (or heaven)!
Yeah, I see both of your points... looks like it took quite a bit of work, and is a very interesting/cool car They made some statements in that forum (didn't read them all) that have me thinking it is mostly a show car though... No headlights or air cleaner!? (guess they wouldn't fit) and I can't blame them for it being a show car (bet its won a few), I wouldn't drive it except on the Dyno  I haven't even seen a 6 cylinder saturn car, ALMOST DID! (my uncle bought me mine on the auction block after hearing it had an engine swap to a 6-cylinder, he found out other wise (4 cyl.) and they dropped the price some to keep him hooked*disapponited*)
