I’m just about to finish up the motor swap on Davonne’s z24 Cavalier and I’ve actually enjoyed the work. I was expecting it to be a Saturday project but it’s taken us a little more than that. Alldata says 15 hours but I think our swap took us twice that long but I guess that’s not so bad for our first motor swap. The last bit should be completed tonight once we swap out the hydraulic clutch line and get it bled. We swapped in the same motor but this one has about 30k less miles on it and doesn’t knock so hard your afraid your about to see a piston come flying through the hood!
Btw, if you ever need hard plastic line replaced or any other hydraulic line call huntingtonhose.com and they should be able to help you out!

Thanks for working so hard on my car!!! I can’t wait to drive it again 🙂 I was surprised at how cheap that Huntington Hose place was, plus they had two girl magazines there which was just perfect for Lily and me! After Lily read her girl magazine she got an auto magazine off the rack, flipped through the pages, and said, “Wow, daddy’s bike!” every time she saw a motorcycle. It was really cute, and one time she even told the guy next to us that “Tee-ee help fix daddy’s vroom vroom vroom”
