hello i have a 98 cavy with a 2200 in it ,,, i;ve killed many of these motors (head gaskets usually one every 2 months or so, i drive em hard ) .... always wanted to put in a 2.2 eco in it i just found a 2.2 eco tech with 5 speed tranny says it comes with the wiring harness with underhood junction box wondering what all i would need to do the swap... figured this would be the best place to ask thank you .... & yes my 2200 i have now is a 5 speed

Because your car is a pre 2000 you will need a donor car to do the swap. You need inside wiring etc..

Secondly you should not be killing 2200 motor's that easy. You are doing something wrong.

Yup, sounds to me like he just doesn't know how to properly repair.... Funny I have been boosted all these years (stock motor and my built), and I have never blown a head gasket.....
