Default Possible replacement engine?

Alright. So I have my little 2005 Sunfire. It's an Automatic, not a GT or anything fancy. Standard 2 door coup. Now, I have the interior re-done, working on finding a body kit, but my only remaining issue is this: Where do I get an engine that will fit in, and go with an automatic transmition. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.


ON A SIDE NOTE: I get a crackling sound when I turn left on corners in my car. Speaker wires sound loose as hell. Anyone else have this happen?

Well. You can throw in a GT motor. Its not too hard...I'm pretty sure the mounts are the same. All you'd have to do is get the GT ECU and components and throw them onto your car when you install the 2.4L motor. As long as you have an auto tranny. Find a GT with an auto tranny. And they should fit.

Or save the money and just get a turbo kit.
