how hard do you think it would be to bag the mitsubishi 2.0L in the
cavalier and try a cady northstar engine instead as it is the most HP
per ci v8 that I thought might fit. if you think this is a better
idealet me know. and how on earth am I going to put a manuel trany in
this thing?

Before you start doing anything you should take a good hard look at what
experience and skills you have, what your tool situation is, what help
you can get, where you have to work, and very important time and
money... however much of both you plan on spending it will probably take
twice as long and cost twice as much as you planned.

This is a BIG project you are contemplating, and most such projects wind
up being turned into parts cars.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but I've been through my share of
projects, some more successful than others, and just want you to think
about what you are getting yourself into.

Of all the info you could get, this is likely the best. Less than 1%
of started projects are seen through and wind up as parts cars or at
the wrecking yard. Lack of time, money, ambition. Nothing wrong with
the dream though.

I keep thinking of putting a Mitsu 2.4 in my Fiero and it keeps being
a though. Working out all the problems associated with all that -
before commiting myself - slow me way down.

Why, on Earth, would you want to do that?

A better idea? Drive the Cavalier as is.

With all the power in the world, the speed limit is only 65 or 70 mph. And,
the Cavalier is FWD. There is a limit of how much useful horsepower you can
use, anyway.
