first, welcome to the board... i am still a newbie myself first thing everyone will tell you is that the search function is your best friend around here (if used properly...)
now, i havent done the 2.4 swap myself but a few here have, and i have researched it myself and here's what i've come up with
the swap can be done but requires lots of custom fabbing.. custom made front motor mount custom power steering bracket (unless you drop your p/s ) rewiring the harness ( i believe you have to cut and splice the whole thing?) custom downpipe (i believe) and some have experienced hood clearance issues
like i said, some of that may be bs as i am myself a newbie around here but that is what i have come to find about this swap so far (as i am still considering it myself...)
the only place i know that sells pre-assembled bullet proof blocks is Faster Than You www.fasterthanyou.com
the company that does their engines is vt out of the state of michigan.... they even post here on the board when they feel necessary (you can get info on that on faster than you's webpage or by search....)
im done typing now but welcome and i hope i have helped you some, and hopefully some who have actually done the swap might chip in as well

Yeah there's some info flopating around here. Thisswap is not for the unprepared. You need to be able to custom fabricate and modify things. Be ready invest some time.
...be ready to fab some parts. Have your electronics ready and prepped for at least 3 major mods/fabs you will need to perform. Lastly expect the unexpected.
but once it's done...
