hey all, I have a 99 Sunfire GT with the 2.4L twin cam and threw a rod through the block and a piston through the oil pan, lol.
My intentions with this project was to do a direct engine swap, but I got to looking at the quad 4 engines nd found that I liked the LG0 (2.3L High Output) the best. it apparently makes 180 crank hp over my 150 hp with my 2.4L.
I was hoping anyone had any experience with these two engines and what all all I would need to do to swap a LG0 into my Sunfire GT. I know it will fit and all, and understand how everything bolts up, but I'm concerned about the wiring and stuff like that. I have a bad pcm so i'm just gonna grab the pcm and wiring harness out of the donar car as well, but if there is anything else i need to get let me know. I'm also using that automatic transmission on the sunfire gt so let me know if there will be an issue there. Thanks guys much appreciated.
P.S. i did not blow up the car, my dad did, now i'm fixing it, lol
