any engine will work in any vehicle, but it would take lots of work, if its fuel injection you gotta re wire and re-splice parts of the wiring harness and get the proper computer, fuel psi. etc. if its carb'd it would be a little easier, but still ALOT of work
It depends on which engine your trying to swap. The 2.2L OHV engine will work in a 99 from a 2002 because it was the same engine. But if it's a Z24 model the 2.2L DOHC engine will not fit a 99 because the 99 used the old 2.4L Quad 4 in the Z24 models and some LS sedan models.
I have a 2.3 quad 4 in my 95 z24 and a 2.4L in my 01 z24.
Yes it is and its the easyest to do.
The Z24 engine is an overhead valve engine and the Z34 is an overhead cam engine. The Z34's engine is pretty tight in it's engine bay so if you were thinking of doing a "swap", Z34 engine will not fit in the Z24.
Every typical "V" style engine has a timing chain. the Chevy cavalier z24 has a 3.1 liter FI V6 engine. so yes it has a timing chain.
2.4L double overhead cam. 150hp

z24 has the different wheels, its usually a 2 door. They both have the same 2.4L engine. If you fast forward to 2002, they made the z24 with 2.4L engine, but in the 2002-1/2 and up, they changed to the LS model, with 2.2 ecotec engine.
All 1997 Chevy Cavlier Z24 (2.4 Litre engine) have a timing chain, that typically never needs to be replaced except in case of engine damage. On this vehicle the timing chain also runs the water pump.
2.2L Altenator on a 2.2L, AND, 2.4L on a 2.4L ONLY!
rebuild the motor or buy a crank kit and install it.
I won't swear to it, but it should be .045. That is for a 3.1L engine.
