well I have a few question , okay first off let me give you some info. I lose car 99 cavalier due to a fire were I was storing it at, now I have to rebuild the whole car again. My aunt have gave me her 96 cavalier, because she can not drive anymore. all the wrench time I did ( for the most part) myself. now my question is as follows
okay the cavalier is had gave me , is okay but I loved my 2200 motor over the 2.2 that is in there now.
1. I would like to change out the motor I was told by some of dealerships here that all I would need is the computer , wire for that motor ( and maybe some odds and ends stuff) that it was easy to change them out . so I wanted to see anyone here has done it. and what other problems did you have to over come.
2. will the 4 speed auto tran. fit the 95-97 2.2l motor??
me and my friend have done motor changes in car before and we are up for this
you and leave me a message here or email me at j_kozdron@verizon.net thanks for your help and time I will keep everyone up to date
2.2 = 2200 so why bother changing???? I f it were a 2.4 ....
the 2200 is a 2.2l, but it's a slightly redesigned version of the 95-97 2.2l OHV. not quite the same thing, but not much better.
personally, i'd swap in a 2.4l engine (and tranny).
