motor swap question --lumina motor in cavalier
i am hearing that a Lumina engine would fit in my 89. its a 3.1 MPFI i think. i also hear that its an aluminum block and extra sensitive to heat. now if i were to make that swap i'd probably rig my fan to be on always or by a switch controlled by me. also would check my cooling system weekly. but i was wondering if theres a 3.1 chevy block i could put in thats not aluminum? or should i even want that? is 550 a good price? is my transmission gonna co-operate with it?
