I've been doing an assload of research on the 2.3L route. And from what I have read, some say the rod angles are the same on both the 2.4 and the 2.3, others don't. So I'm not positive who to believe, cuz I sure don't know how to make that calculation. Also I'm chosing that route because I didn't want to have to deal with figuring out what corresponding engine parts to purchase or what I can and can't reuse if i had a 4g64 block in there. Like if I could reuse my 4g63 water pump, or oil pump, or do i need new ones that are specific to the 4g64. Which headgasket to get? Can I use the same headstuds? Or how about the front case. I mean I'm sure with enough researching I could figure it all out. But what if it's an emergency and I need to get a new timing belt and I dunno whether to buy one for a 4g64 or a 4g63, and I don't wanna post a question that might take 5 hours to get a responce to. I'm by no means saying that the 2.4 is a shitty setup, I just don't wanna deal with those little issues. So that is a big part of why I'm interested in the 2.3 setup, but of course I'm not 100% decided yet because I still have much to learn about both setups. But I'll hush now cuz this thread was about 2.4's and not 2.3's.
