What motors will fit a 2000 cavalier z24?

Answer 1

There are four engines that GM installed in the 3rd generation j-body. The most common was the 2.2l ohc engine. The z24 had the 2.4l ld9 engine. The 1995 model z24 had a 2.3l high output engine. The final engine was the 2.2l l61 ecotec engine. All of these engines can be installed in the 2000 cavalier. This would require swapping the wiring, or fabricating your own. It is a difficult task, but can be done if you want to put in the time.

There have also been several v6 swaps. The engine bay can accommodate most gm v6 engines, but the engine mounts have to be custom fabricated. Or, if you want to create a money pit, you can swap in a Northstar V8.... It all depends on how much money you want to spend.
