2000 cavalier 2200 -> ecotec 2.2 >.>

Ok so to explain the title a little further

i have a 2000 cavalier with the 2.2 and its in horribad condition im about at 1/2 psi in the block and takes me aout 13seconds to get to 60 yea its bad i've done a lot to "help" it out such as cold air intake well... to be honest thats it... weird thought i added more meanwhile back on topic i bought this car about 1 year ago and decided to make it into a speedy race car!

ok so heres the question should i rip apart the block and replace the piston rings, valves, bigger cam, ect ect or buy an ecotec 2.2 and build it up *may take a while pockets arnt really full if you catch my drift*

now with you wanting to throw me your opinion on how i should jump on the ecotec, remember its a 2000 and they didnt start putting the ecotec into cav's till about 02? <-was informed by a friend so that might be wrong. wil the ecotec 2.2 be able to fit/run if i remap ECU, and what else would i need to replace?

the car is not boosted yet but will be also need help in that area

you guys make me feel like a noob

Thanks for the help
Josh
