My 2000 Z24 engine just blew a rod straight thru the engine. I was wondering if I could take the 2.4l out and install a 2.2 ecotec or maybe a 2.4 ecotec into my car? I have searched all over the net and only ran into forums talking about possibly doing the switch. Or would it just be best money wise to put a 2.4l back in it

I would replace it with the original size and year if possible. You will run into many issues when changing over to the newer engine/trans
