Is it possible to put a GM Ecotech engine in a Kia Rio?

Question

Even if it requires some custom fabrication on the motor mounts and a custom adapter kit to the transmission, I'd like to know how hard it would be.

Answer 1

Eh... I'm almost positve the ecotec is a 2.4L motor while your Kia Rio has a 1.5L... I'm sure it can be done, but yes you will probably need all of the above. I suggest getting the ecotec with a transmission from a Cobalt or any other Chevy with the ecotec and sell your Kia engine and tranny on ebay. Good luck.
