How hard will this swap be?

Found a good deal on a 2.4 from a solstice. Just wondering how hard it would be to fit one of these into an s10.

I'd say you've got a lot of fab work ahead of you if you go with this swap.

Isn't that a direct injection motor? Something like 2500 # of pressure at the injectors. Best of luck.

Re: How hard will this swap be?

Definitely gonna take some work. any custom engine, or motor swap for an engine not designed originally to fit an S10 calls for custom mounts, a proper ECU, tuning, the wiring, etc to make it useful.
