The 3.1 liter engine is blown. I also have a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird (2.0 Turbo). Can the engine be swapped to the Cavalier? I know the spindles need to be swapped, but what about the engine and tranny mounts?

Yes the engine can be swapped in, U will need the swap the ECU (computer) Wiriing harness, Also engine and tranny mounts, Also might have to do some Fab custom work, I would think it would be wise to get another V6 engine swap it iits place.

Good Luck.
