*I* am quite familiar with the bellhousing, but since the local yard doesn't have any, I'd have to order one, which would make me dependent on the *yard's* ability to know the difference... As mera7 on Pfiffle found out, that's not such a good bet...BoostGT wrote: Will you want the 2000-2002 2200 version, its probably easier to search 2000-2001 though to avoid the junkyards that mix up the 2.2 ecotec and 2.2 pushrod in the 2002 models, 2002 was kind a weird year for the Jbodies you could get the 2200, the LD9 2.4 twin cam, or the Ecotec in the later half. In the end Im sure you can easily spot the 2200 bellhousing compaired to the Ecotec anyways they are not even close to the same.

Re: Transmission Swap.
Look on Ebay too. The occasionally pop up. Or just wait till a bunch of folks buy them, realize it's not a bolt in swap and buy it from them!
Re: Transmission Swap.
I figured you would be plenty familiar with the bellhousing Will but Im sure the info will be useful for any others searching as well. The 2002's are where most yards screw up, but god knows I dont trust a single junk yard of any variety to do something right the first time thats why I stick to pick and pulls so I can grab things myself, the f23 falls out of the bottom of a jbody quite easily and its also very common for the 2200 to already be gone and a trans just hanging there screaming love me... If you happen across one of these "hangers" atleast snag the throwout as they are pricey even for aftermarket.
