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

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.
