Has anyone done any research into this? Using the 2.4L's crank in our LSJ?

I know bolt patterns are different. You would also be taking a shot in the dark as far as bore spacing.

Ugh.. Gm never makes anything easy do they.

On a positive note, the reluctor wheel for the crank sensor has the same number of teeth, even though the sensor itself is different. :lol:

2.4 has different bore and stroke, I believe, but isn't the 2.2 just different stroke? Seems like that would be much easier to pull off, but I have no idea about bolt patters, sensors, and all that shit. :)

That's why i want to do the swap. A 2.4L LSJ would put out about 30+ more pounds of torque. I'm going to look into it.

What's the big difference between the LSJ head and the 2.4L head besides the VVT? Could i bolt the whole supercharger/intercooler assembly to a 2.4L head? What about just using a 2.4L shortblock with a LSJ head?

fullthrottle on rlf has nearly completed this.

Just was doing some reading about it from him. Thanks for the info. Don't think i'm going to take it as far as he did tho.
