okay i have a 99 z-24 that has been sitting in my yard/driveway for about 6 months it only has 40,000 miles on it and me being a dumbass i blew it up!!! what im trying to get to is what other blocks out of other gm's will bolt up to the cylinder head thats on my motor!! because everbody tell's me that the grand ams have 2.3l!! what block can i use to get this thing back on the road??? thanks



hondas are like tampons.....every pu$$y needs one...
mildly built 99' ln2, eagle h-beam rods, wiseco forged alum. pistons, cusco oil catch, t3/t4 super 60 garret, tial 40 mm wastegate, hp tuners, prothane mount inserts, 2.5" exhaust.

older grand ams had the 2.3 quad 4.

will that work though????

2.3 95 and older OBD1, 96 OBD1.5/2 97-99 OBD2, 00-02 OBD2. 00-02
Wrong / right will run on OBD 2, but would be a PAIN IN THE ASS, also is not EPA legal.

Order 11516479 self taping screw for Camshaft Position Sensor. For 2nd design, see 12465154.
You can use either version 1a, 1b, or two in your car with little modification. Just use the sensors from your model year.
Also use your injectors intake manifold and header. Also the older style starter will be fine on the newer motor or vis versa.


96 LD9 motors and wiring is just @!#$ up, stay away from this year. Also had different oil passages, and water-pump problems. GM doesn't even offer 96 motors anymore.


97-98 had EGR valves
some 99 had egr some didn't.
00-02 did have egr at all.
Also 99 had a better intake manifold. It doesn't have the flange on the inside plenum like all the other years.
Also 99 to 02 had smaller starter , and higher compression due to flat top pistons, even though some 99-02 have the older dish style pistons.
96-98/99 had low impedance injectors.
99-02 have high impedance injectors.
Also 96, 97-98, and 99-02 had different head casting numbers. I do not know if anyone figured out why this is.


I think that would cover 95% of everything.



Opps forgot about o2 sensors.
96-98/99 had one wire front O2 sensors.
00-02 had more than one wire. "heated O2 sensor"

You can run a 2.3 with almost no modification on a 2.4 ecm and vice versa but you don't have the knowledge to do it.
