engine, tranny, PCM, and the harness from PCM to firewall. mounts are the same but i'd get a new set anyways.

engine, trans, engine harness, comp, power steering pump and power steering lines, fuel lines, my upper motor mount was different, if your going from a 3 spd to 4 spd, u might wanna look into the center consule and the 4 spd guage cluster. i think thats it...if i think of anything else, post back i will

^^ unintelligent post. sure, go for an ecotec if you want lots of downtime and fabrication.

a week is downtime. which classifies as a swap so to speak. as far as an originally placed motor (i.e. 2.2 to 2200 or 2.2 to 2.4) we usually get done in 2 days

completely understandable man. and the 2.4 will work just fine for that. if you figure it's going to take you 2 days, request off 4. if you figure it's going to take you 4, request off a week. when we put together our turbo sedan, we estimated 3 days for the project. little things going wrong and tuning issues led to the project taking 8 full days.
