i have a spare 2.4L engine in good shape here...    and just found a good deal on a nice cavy with a blown motor...   but problem is that the cavy has a 2.2...   and mine is a 2.4L LD9...   so just wondering what kinda headaches there would be in trying to swap these 2 engines....   i KNOW people have done this before... what all is involved?
 
 
The bellhousing is different between all engines.

so what if i got the tranny from a 2.4L as well?
the tranny that was attached to my 2.4L might still be available...
then i just swap in the tranny and engine...   just need computer and harness then?
