Putting an LNF engine in a LSJ cobalt: Is it feasible?
I am the first person to do the swap. Took me and 2 other techs 2 nights of hard work. The only possible way to do it is to purchase a wrecked LNF like i did and start swapping. Every thing has to be swapped. The harness goes from the front of the car to the tail lights. all the dash harnesses need to be swapped as well so that means you have to pull the dash out, seats, and carpet. both bake and clutch assymlys must be swapped along with the brake booster and resivior. the brake lines are actually different so they need to be swapped as well. That is a quick over view. there are many other parts in this swap as well. I believe it was well worth going turbo but i would have saved alot of time and hassel just building the LSj and going turbo. But at the end of the day you have something unique that no one has ever done
If you could fix the Blue car back up with the LSJ in it , then sold it as an 08 or 9 cobalt SS ........I wonder how many people would actually figure it out before they got it home. lol
silverbullet did it the hard way, and is not the first to swap.
the grand am cup cars are lsj based vehicles. they all ran lsj engines last year. now they have to conform to rules and run production engines. so they swapped in lnf's, run off the stock lsj ecm with a piggy back tied into it to run the lnf.

That is a cool frankenbalt you got there lol. I bet it's the only street driven one of it's kind. Only problem i see is your prolly slower now with the stock LNF then you were on with your old setup
