can you be a lil nit more specific please when you say everything
everything.
all harnesses, fuel system, etc...
everything.
what about the harness to the fuel pump in the gas tank or should i change that also? is the trany mount holes on the body of the car the same or would i have to drill out new ones? so basically i have to take everything out and just switch everything over. and does that also mean the fuse box panels also. let me know becouse this should be a good winter project for me to do to get ready for the upcoming car season
fusebox is attached to the engine harness you need.
long story short. you need everything lol

the only similarity between the two cars is the unibody, suspension, and brakes. EVERYTHING else, every wire, every single piece dealing with the powertrain, drivetrain, fuel system, emissions system, EVERY SINGLE PIECE needs to be swapped over.

You also have to weld in the proper tranny mounts for the Getrag. So actually you need everything and alittle more.

this may sound silly but whats a getrag?
Manual tranny they used after 2000.
i found a manual trany for the ecotec motor but then once i get it do i have to go get the proper trany mount from the dealer and then i have to weld that on to the body of the car or can i bolt that on?
Weld, you will probably have to go to the junkyard and cut one out. I don't think that is a part the dealership carries..
and also can i use the main wireing harness that is on the car with the automatic trany and use it when i get the manual trany or do i have to het a diff wireing harness?
depends. do you mind having your check engine light on, as well as the abs light (and traction control if so equipped) on constantly?

no i dont care that those lights are on all the time. thats how they been for a long time
then yes, you can run a manual trans car with an auto harness. but seeing as you have to swap every single wire over, why not get the right harness and do the job properly?

yes i would like to do it the right way but the new harnes is about 1600 bucks and thats at the dealer i dont know where to get a used one at
Yup lol everything would mean, well everything. rofl
That's the worst part about having a OHV. lol Nothing is really usable for the swap to Eco's

Yup, b/c everything changed w/ the BCM and fuel tank/lines ofn the '00s.
I had (still do, but it's dead) a '00 z24 convertible. the LD9 went in it, then people vandalized it to all hell in back after i moved back to ohio. So the vert top was destroyed with most of the car. Kept it out at a friends house on private property, but i guess that wont stop @!#$s lol
