im guessing the 1.5 and 1.7 would be a stright swap with no messing about.

service the engine while its off, change everything that could go wrong and pop it in :D

I'm pretty certain the engines are identical to look at. They put both in the MK3 Cavalier (and Fronteras too if memory serves), so I think the mounts are the same. Just change the ECU as well, as the wiring should be virtually identical too.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
