Hard enough all I can say is don't. Nissan-chev, rwd-fwd both of which would make it such a pain. Why not just get a 240?

I got a 98 cavalier RS that im doing a full over hall on. I like Ecotec as well. Lookin to do a swap out right now as well. Im waiting on doing the turbo, header, manifolds, FMS, all the goodies until i get the engine i want that will really push this stuff. right now im just working on the suspension, bodykit, tires, sway bars, braking system, and alot of interior swaps and electronics. The thing is im trying to find a good engine,nothing crazy but something good that can hold some real potential some where around 160hp BUT im also having trouble with transmission. I want to upgrade because they can only handle around 190HP and after turbos and what not yaa thats gonna be over 190 EZ. BUT im trying to find out what fits and where to get it from the only page i have been looking at is JEGS BUT i have no idea as to which ones will fit AND with minimal (Preferably No) modifications. Lets swap some knowledge.

well if you can find a written off cobalt ss that would be ideal. then you wouldnt even need to build it up. just upgrade the stock turbo and ad a front mount and boost controller
