Ok, please dont just start flaming. I know its -just- a cavalier, and I know its FWD, I dont care. We have a 2001 Cavalier Z24. When I first got my drivers license I really abused this car. To make a long story short the engine still runs completely fine but I wouldnt trust it to do any mods because of the abuse it has taken. The transmission is done for, it gets stuck in neutral a lot. However, the body and the interior are still in very good shape. So we have this paid off cavalier sitting here that cant be driven. Me and my dad want to do a project together and since we already own this and its sitting in our driveway its ideal. I was wondering if any one knew what kind of engines you could get into a 2001 Z24? We are looking for 300FHP, and convert it from an auto to a manual. The stock engine is a 2.4L 4cyl with 150HP. So my second question is other than a swap to a different engine how well would the stock 4 hold up against 300HP? Thanks a lot for the input.
