ok, basically my 2.0 smokes and without going turbo i figured if it's time for a rebuild why not upgrade too. The point...to stroke the 2L. I work for a salvage yard and can get the 2.4 for a decent pirce but, don't want to have to change the trans too. Our copmuter system shows that the major components don't interchange. Can i just drop in a 2.4??? Or will i need to just change the short block? Any better?
