But the engine will fit, yes, you will just have to match up parts. but nothing "important"

For $3000, you could easily swap a ecotec (gen 2) or a 1.4t from a cruze in there.
Well we have about a week and a half to get things moving along... so if she can get the car up here over the weekend I'll look over it. I'm also having her get the mechanic to give her a detailed write up of what he found.

So we shall see... but in the mean time she's prepped to pick up the 1.6L out of the '07

Though I gotta say, you've peaked my curiosity about the 1.4T in an Aveo, any idea the P/W ration that would end up with?

Most likely picking up Mk2 Jetta/GTI and doing a Stroker 8V Build... but I'm always interested in a unique turbo build
