I have an 03 cavalier with 115,825 miles on it. The engine is going out. I was wondering what would be a good swap or replacement other then the 2.2 eco that doesn't envole alot of modding? I can get any 4cyl or 6cly for around 200$ also is the 2.4 out of the z24 a good motor? Yes I am a noob this is my first jbody.
you'd not only need the engine, but the trans, wiring harness, engine mounts, and a whole plethora of other items to swap FROM an eco, which im not sure why you'd want to anyway...

probably the only person in history interested in swapping OUT an ecotec..
The reason why I'm asking is because I have 1 of 2 options rebuild the engine or do a swap. What all would I have to do for a 2.4 eco swap?
for a 2.4 swap, you'd need a whole new car. and park it where your j sits. then sell your j. there, you swapped to a 2.4 eco.

the 2.4 eco is a whole new animal and the electronics simply will not work with our older system.
