Thanks man although I only had one Alero, but like you it was my first car as well. The other Oldsmobile I owned was an Intrigue and you're right the V6 in that was nice and it was pretty quick too.

the 2.2 to v6 swap is a hassle, i also take back my statement. theres so many things that go wrong swapping from 4cyl to a v6 its almost not worth the hassle.

Noooo
Don't listen to him, its a major pita and you lose a lot of stuff that's hard to fix...like headlights, your remote, power locks, rear speakers. So far I've fixed the headlights..
Oh yeah, and when you get it all hooked up and ready to go, it won't start until you rewire some stuff...
You can make good power with the ecotec, and parts are much cheaper than a la1...but I still hate 4 bangers..

They're nice, but like others have said there is quite a bit you can do to the 2.2's to make them quicker. If you really want a V6 you could always look into the 3500 swap. I know there is at least one member on here who has done it, but it would still be cheaper and easier to mod the 2.2L.

2.2 to 3500 would be more of a hassle than 2.2 to 3400...

This is true which is why I said it would still be cheaper and easier to mod the 2.2, but we know the 3500 swap can be done and personally if I was going to swap from the 2.2 to a V6 I would rather have the 3500 over the 3400.

Personally I like the ecotec and the ability to add a number of aftermarket parts if I want to. This link has some nice information on aftermarket parts but it is a bit outdated.
