Question 1996 coupe, automatic

Hi all
My 96 Cavalier coupe has major engine problems. If I want to replace the engine from a doner car, what years are compatable? Can I put a 2.2 litre engine from any Cavalier?

What motor do you have? Yeah since its OBD II it's possible, but I'd stay with the 2.2 liter motor.

Hi
Mine is a 2.2L with an automatic gear.
My question is, can I take a motor from a 1999 Cavalier or a 2004 Cavalier?
Are the motors the same in the 4-door and in the 2-door models?

Thanks Henry
