Would it be wiser to buy a second hand engine or a new engine from an engine repair garage?

Will a 2.5L engine from a 1995 or later Sunfire GT or a 1996 or later Cavalier Z24 fit in a 1995 Cavalier which only has a 2.3L engine?

Call a salvage yard. They can help you with an answer. Although, 2oz of displacement would hardly justify the trouble of doing a swap, unless if the valves are different, in that case, you would probably have to change the PCM and the accompanying harness. First off I've never heard of a 2.5L engine unless you mean the 2.4L in the GT and the Z24. Second, why would you want to swap them. The 2.3L HO engine is much better.
