ecotec swap need new motor mounts?
Tuesday, December 25, 2007 12:47 PM
i am removing the 2200 out of a 97 cav and swapping in a 2.2eco 2004 they are both 5spd. does anyone know if i need to order any aftermarket motor mounts or anything to get the motor mounted in or will i be able to use the existing 04 mounts?

Your 97 doesn't have a 2200, its the 2.2.

Anyways- heres the 2.2 to ECO swap info (yet another deleted thread that I can't take credit for).

Quote:

Since Ive done this swap but from a 97 2.2 ohv. here is what you will need for a 00+

*Transmission
*Engine (obviously)
*Engine Harness
*ECU or reflash if it is possible
*Ecotec Upper Motor Mount
*Ecotec Radiator (my old 97 2.2 radiator was not as thick as this one)
*Radiator Hoses

(should be able to keep current BCM module)
Axles should work for the different trans if it is an auto (havent experimented with 5 speed yet)

You 00+ guys have it easier to do the swap considering you dont have to swap out the fuel system. Otherwise you can do what I did and replace everything if its 95-99. Suncavi got his running with the old fuel tank setup for pre 00 but his gas gauge isnt reading it properly. Thats why I opted to swap my 97 to the 00+ gas tanks and put the 00+ wiring in my car. Ran good till I put a hole in the block

Any more questions feel free to email me at streetrcn22@aol.com Im not on here too often so you would have a better chance catching me on AOL.
