ok I am thinking of doing this but a lot of you might think its a bad idea. I have a motor out of a 90 Talon TSi and I was thinking about rebuilding it and putting it into my car and make it a sleeper, I have a 96 Cavalier....like I said I know a lot of you might not like it but I think this would be an awesome thing to do. what a sleeper :thumb: so lets see what you all think and will it fit?
 
Compare engine/tranny sizes. If the 4g63 combo isn't to big, it's a possibility. Check the motor mount points. You're most likely going to need to cut off the ones that are in your car, and reweld them elsewhere for you 4g. The tranny will also need its own mount, and will hopefully line up correctly for the axles and all to come out right. The wiring harness is going to be the hardest part IMO. It's a lot of work. A lot.
