Motor Swap

[i3o2Matt]

hey everybody, i just recently purchased a 98 Cavalier 2dr 5spd with the 2.2L engine in it...i kno i kno...slow POS...but its not that bad...its got enuff get up n go...for now.

i was just wondering, is the Z24 engine a direct swap for the car? also...what would be the best size piping for both motors? it wont be for a while until i am able to even think about doin this seriously...i am just curious

lol nobody knows? wow

nope not direct swap two different trannys. size piping? as in exhaust..
if so 2.25 would be fine

[i3o2Matt]

what i meant was engine and tranny both at the same time, but i think that answers my question...if i swap the z24 motor and trans at the same time it would be a direct swap?

yeah i'll probably have to do the wiring harness as well...and probably put a Z24 cluster in there...but are the mounts the same is basically what i'm asking, and if the exhuast follows the same path.

The intake/exhaust is flipped on the 2.4, so no the exhaust will not work. And you won't "probably" have to swap in the wiring, you just plain will.

ok a little exhaust modification to get it to fit right...does it bolt into the same mounts though or no?
