Does anyone know where i can find a new or slightly used z24 motor and tranny and about how much it will cost? Tinytim12333 08-22-2003, 02:20 AM Which year? 5 speed or auto? Epstar 08-22-2003, 09:12 PM The newer the motor the better and i definitely need a five speed cause there is no other way to go. Is there a certain year that has a higher output or are they all the same. I drive a '96 so I would like to have something where I could just drop it in. Thanx for the help y'all. :smokin: Tinytim12333 08-23-2003, 03:40 PM Bu's 3.1 and you would need to get the trany and all that stuff, but it wont work on your old tranny cuz its too much power. Epstar 08-27-2003, 04:21 AM Between the '95+ motors which would have the most horsepower? My guess would be the newest Z24 engine but what do I know. I don' t want to drop the older 3.1 because I am looking for something relatively simple. Also I would appreciate it if someone can let me know where I can find one of my desired motors; I've been looking everywhere and still no luck. Like I said before I need a 5-speed because thats the best way to enjoy the horses and the motor doesn't have to be new but I would like something with low miles (less than 30k). Thanks y'all :cool: Tinytim12333 08-27-2003, 01:41 PM look for a lumina z34 w/ 2.4 dohc w/ a manual and buy it if it has all the part. Lumina years 91-93 it has over 200 hp stock SpyhunterlV 08-28-2003, 12:59 AM 2.4L's weren't available in 91-93... it was the 2.3L quad 4 that was available.. and they were never rated anymore than 190hp stock.. if he has a 1996, he's OBD-II so he'd have to figure out the wiring for an OBD-I motor. the 2.4L in the 96+ cars had a cam sensor in the cam housing. and that housing is not compatable with the hotter cams from the older high output 2.3 motors.. and there is a bit of a difference between 2.4L motors... 96-99.5 they all had an egr system, along w/ a different type of injector, knock sensor, power steering pump placement and starter.. 99.5-01 had no egr system, smaller starter, and the differences I stated above..
