lol yea with a few minor adjustments you can fit a corvette motor in a sunfire too...

whoever told you that is a liar and with the amount of money you would spend getting that swap to work you can buy a hahn kit turbo kit, build your head, bolt ons, and a tune, and have more power than an sti anyway.

Will not be worth the time or effort at all. Also all the custom fabrication involved. Tell your friend to swap it in, and when he is finished you will buy it off him.

Yes, including the rear suspension and any awd driveline components. It's really not that hard.

idk, i think this site is getting old. and rediculous. forums are here to help people. yes its a rediculous question. but not 1 person answered w/o sarcasm. this kid heard something from someone, then came her for an answer, and all we did was laugh.

so heres a real answer. is it possible? yes. is it realistic or cost effective? absolutely not.

if you want a real performance car, buy 1. if u want to have fun with a daily drivin econobox, buy some parts. thats about all the advice i can give.

The 2.4 would probably be the easiest swap, followed by ecotec. Anything bigger than that (3800 Series II, 3.4 V6, etc.) and you're talking about a serious investment of both time and money. The 2.4 swap could probably be done in a good day with everything you need and all the tools.
