Odd Swap Question Here....
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 10:51 PM
So i found a real clean cavy for only $400...only problem is no motor. New clutch/flywheel/brakes, clean body and interior. Its a 98, which makes it a 2200 that came in it stock.

I just pulled the 2200 out of my 2001 s-10, in order to do a 350 swap. It just sitting in my garage with only 88,000 miles on it. Runs strong, no problems with it at all.

Is it possible to bolt the s10 2200 into the cavalier??? If so, is there anything major i should know (like modifications, relocation, etc)???? Need to know this ASAP. Thanks guys.




hmmm, i wonder how u use this signature thingy

Not sure on that one. I know with the 60 degree v6 engine the FWD and RWD have some slight differences. One of them, is the fact that the RWD engine has the starter on the opposite side to provide clearance for the steering. I'd guess at the possibility of the same here.

Yeah for years the starter location is the problem, in the older s-10 4 tech to be exact. Make sure that the starter will be mounted in the front of the cav with the motor installed. As for the other stuff, I would have to say to do some more research before going ahead. Try a local salvage yard, If any one would know it would be them. Try looking up an engine on www.carpart.com and see what the results are.

just because its a 98 what makes you think its a 2200? it could be a 2.4
