I've searched for everything that I know of, haven't came up with anything.

Could someone tell me if it's possible to drop a 3400 into a 2000 Cavalier? or at least point me in the right direction if it is possible?

I'm torn between what I want to do. My Cavalier has the 2.2 engine with an auto transmission, I at least want to swap a 5-speed in, but my biggest problem, I'm torn between dropping the 3400 in, or dropping in an Eco if it's possible. So, I don't know what transmission will bolt up to the Eco, I think I'd read somewhere that the tranny from a 2.4 will bolt to the Eco, and that a 2.2 tranny will bolt to the 3400, but I'm not sure.

So...if I want to do an Eco swap...I have to find an Eco tranny, or is there another tranny that will bolt to the Eco?

with an eco swap you pretty much gotta change everything over, cept for a few items since yours is a 2000 and not a 95 -99. best to get a donor car and swap what all needs to be swapped over. been done many times on jbo.org. jsut have to go and search. not really that hard of a swap if you wanted to keep it auto, but to instal a 5 spd requires a different trans mount and some grinding and welding. pretty much have to use a eco tranny, they use a different bolt pattern formt he other motors.

Heres the How-To for a 2200-ECO swap-

Quote:
Since Ive done this swap but from a 97 2.2 ohv. here is what you will need for a 00+

*Transmission
*Engine (obviously)
*Engine Harness
*ECU or reflash if it is possible
*Ecotec Upper Motor Mount
*Ecotec Radiator (my old 97 2.2 radiator was not as thick as this one)
*Radiator Hoses

(should be able to keep current BCM module)
Axles should work for the different trans if it is an auto (havent experimented with 5 speed yet)

You 00+ guys have it easier to do the swap considering you dont have to swap out the fuel system. Otherwise you can do what I did and replace everything if its 95-99. Suncavi got his running with the old fuel tank setup for pre 00 but his gas gauge isnt reading it properly. Thats why I opted to swap my 97 to the 00+ gas tanks and put the 00+ wiring in my car. Ran good till I put a hole in the block

Any more questions feel free to email me at streetrcn22@aol.com Im not on here too often so you would have a better chance catching me on AOL.
