i recieved my sport compacts magazine and in it was a list of motors the cavalier could swap to. these included a eclipce all wheel drive engine and tranny all the way to a evo IX and evo X engine and tranny swaps. has any one ever attempted these swaps. and if u have how god awful was the swap.

ive never heard of the evo swap.. how would the awd fit in? they really said that in the magazine huh....

Anything is possible. I guarantee you none of the people in that magazine "ACTUALLY" completed the swap. Mounting the engine and tranny would be the "EASY" part (and I use the term as loosely as possible). To answer your question though, I doubt anyone actually attempted it on here. but I can guarantee you no one has completed it. For the amount it would cost, you could build a RWD v8 cav/fire for much cheaper...and at least there are parts available to purchase to make it a little "EASIER" to swap.

More importantly, though...this belongs in the noobs section.

That's just great. Some retard sitting at a desk decided to list engines that will technicly fit into a car as "swaps you can do"...

I used to read that mag, but now I just find no redeeming qualities in it. I think the last time I picked one up on the rack, there were more pages of wheel advertisements than anything useful.

all those little tunerboy mags are rice to the max........... only magazineI read anymore is racecar engineering (UK based)

I used to be a fan of SCC, Turbo, Modified, and the other "tuner" mags, but I've kind of grown out of that trend.

The only 2 mags I subscribe to now are Grassroots Motorsports, and Road and Track, you might say my taste has refined itself somewhat. Or, that I don't care what it looks like as long as it can dance around the track.

Road & Track is a fantastic magaize. Their tech tidbits, written by a real mechanical engineer, hell I find the stuff flying over MY head sometimes, and I like to think I'm pretty smart at this stuff!

Errrrr....magazine...don't come across as too smart when I can't spell

LOL...... I think the origonal poster is mistaken if we're talking about Sport Compact Car.

One of the issues mentioned some crazy swap ideas for a few different vehicles. One of them they said would absouletly love to see someone put a 4g63 into a Cavalier. They mentioned that it would be bonus points if someone swapped the AWD version rather than the FWD.

It wasn't a realistic swap that's been done or is planning to be done by anyone, just a crazy idea.

Well that sounds a little more reasonable then. I was seriously wondering what the hell was up with someone just sitting around saying "here's some swaps you can do with your car".
