how hard is it to swap a 2.2 l in a 97 cavalier with a 2.2 ecotec engine from a 2003?

It requires a complete donor car and you have to swap EVERYTHING over. If you ask "Do i swap this part?" the answer is yes.


Boost > N/A

180hp in 1989 or 260hp in 2008, you decide. Quad < Ecotec

Not Hard at all. the only things different are the tps, and maybe the alt conn

And the fact that the 2003+ Cavalier ecotec ecu needs to see a signal from the BCM which wasnt found in 99 or earlier models. That is the main reason for having to swap everything.
