I believe the bell housing is different between the 2.2 OHV and the 2200s but quote me on that.
If you were to pick up an 2.4 w/transmission, you would need the PCM, fuel system, ignition system and basically all the hoses and wires that would be found in the engine bay.

Pretty much the same answer...
There really isn't a big difference in the 2.4 and ECOTEC...honeslty I would keep the 2.4 unless you have high mileage and want to swap in another motor, than yes, an ECOTEC would be a good choice.

I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
so the ecotec will go right in w/a harness change and will my trans bolt up?

no, an eco will not go right in. different mounts. and no your trans will not bolt up
