I picked up an 87' Cav in Feb as a winter rider/beater. I'm getting into fixing it up and trying to find some mild performance mods for it.
I was wondering, does the 2.2 header fit the 2.0? When I was at a local Junkyard, they appeared to be fairly the same block. I checked the gaskets are listed as the same part number. But to me it almost seems like the bolt pattern on the 2.2 is upside down from the 2.0.
Can any clarify this? I could always mount a 2.2 header upside down and run a stack out the hood!

The 2.2 OHV header will fit the 2.0 OHV head.
The 2.2 OHV header will not fit the 2.0 OHC engine.
How's that?

Does the 2.2L SOHC header fit the 2.0L OHV in in my Cav? I was looking at the 2.2 headers for the 95-00 Cavs. They appear to be the same header.

there is no 2.2l sohc. this is printed in some repair manuals and on the net, but there never was a 2.2l sohc in a J. there was a 1.8 and 2.0l ohc in sunbirds and firenzas. there is a 2.0l ohv (what you have) and a 2.2l ohv is the later version of that.
hmm No wonder I was confused. I saw a 2.2L ohc/sohc mentioned several times. No wonder I was confused!
Thanks for clearing that up.
