Is it possible to transplant the later 2.3t engine into a classic 900 shell?
Will drivetrain/wiring, etc be easy enough swapped?

The engine mounts will be different and the wheel position will not line up with out changes to the driveshafts and chassis .

The classic was a totally different car to the GM 900 on its Caviler chassis

It is possible to convert the B202 to 2.3 using B234 innards, and a T5 head. But the 2.0 revs better. So better to convert the 2.0 to T5 and map it to 300bhp :-)
