switching 94 gt to a 2000s gts motor Options

[homeboy]

Will this work? Sensors, tranny, etc..
I found a guy who loves to do mods. He said if I get the motor, he'll do the work free; simply spread the word about him. Is it going to cost a lot in conversions? I need to do something. I threw a rod racing at 120. I miss my car reaallll bad.
If this won't work, does anybody know where to find a cheap motor or rebuild kit?
Thanks, peace out

downsizing from a 2.2 to a 1.8 isn't the problem here. It's not about displacement, it's about compression. But it's a moot point since it's not a likely swap. I guess anything is possible, but what if the mechanic gets halfway through and says oh sh1t, I can't do this, and throws in the towel since he's doing it for free anyway?

You wanna do a less common swap, do a 6 cylinder swap.

well it depends honestly on wat your looking for. an ST's 7A is also a 1.8L but its designed vastly different. so unless you plan to drive over 5000 rpms just to get decent torque figures the 2ZZ isnt a great choice unless you plan on applying force induction. And parts alone are going to be expensive you might as well get a complete GTS even if he does it for free.

this is not true with the 2zz other than it is expensive, it gets its maximum torque before 4k rpm, it is gutless from then on till lift at 6800 rpm, its great off the line, and in the top end, especially if u get a cable throttle body that came in the matrix and corrola xrs's, instead of the drive by wire crap that came in the gts's.
