That's a nice looking motor but looks to be totally insane for maintenance...

Yes sir your mail belt needs to be replaced.. well the belt is 30 dollars but labor is 650. We have to remove the passenger side wheel, the qarter panel and the front end. lol...

I think the CTS is just N/A with DI and the 2.8L V6 is just regular fuel injection

I wonder how hard it would be to swap that engine to my IRL. Wiring and tuning would be a BITCH tho

Click on this for the CTS Dyno sheet - 304 HP!

I posted the 2008 GM Powertrain page in another thread https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/2008-gm-engine-transmission-list-79937/

That will provide all the GM (world-wide) options....

Changing oil on our current engine is a bitch.

At least they got smart and put the oil filter down low, so you can get it while under the car.
