I cannot seem to find the answer to this question anywhere. I have searched all over web andit seems that there are some knowledgable people on this forum.
What engines will fit in a 97 2.4L 4X4 5spd?
My engine was ruined after thetiming chain guides broke off into the engine and was driven by the previous owner for who knows how long. I was told that any KA24E enfine would fit right in and I was about to replace it with a 94 eninge out of a RWD. I was aware we would have to change the oil pan/pump but now it seems that the whole head is different? Or distributor? I am having a friend work on it and he started to take things apart and realized that he can't swap it. He says he would have to change the heads and electrical/computer? Is this correct? It's going to be difficult to locate an engine out of a 97 only. I had hard enough time finding this one and I was searching for 90-97.
If someone has experience with this year please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,Joe
