GM ECOtec in a kick
« on: November 19, 2008, 03:58:12 PM »
what do people think of the idea of a 2.2l ecotec motor in a track kick?

I would think this motor could be pretty easy to fit and since it's in the soltice/sky it can be set up for RWD.  I'm suprised no after market company that has made an adaptor plate for the tranny.  I think this would be the perfect engine swap for any track kick.

I would put the 2.5 v6 out of a xl-7 in it. I think it bolts directly to the tracker transmission. You might have to make up your own motor mounts, and will have to rewire, but they make plenty of power ;D
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)

There was a swap kit at my local yard out of a solstice, they wanted something like $6K for it

No, the 2.5 GV and the 2.7 XL7 engines do not bolt to the sidekick/tracker transmission. The only V6 bolt together option is 2.5GV w/auto transmission this will bolt to a sidekick/tracker t-case and will have the correct spline count so that one can use crawler gears with their combo.
