I am staying with the LSJ, building it up in line with the 1,000+hp build book.

4.unbolted the subframe and lowered the engine/tranny/subframe to the floor
5.Lift the car up and over the the engine and set it aside
6.i took the old engine off the subframe and bolted the new one on with the new transmission
7.now basically you just reverse the process, dont forget to plug the battery back in!
6.to add more horsepower put SS/SC emblems on the back!

if you only did that none of the electrical components would work. why no mention of the lsj wiring harness? because you never did the swap.

X2..... you cant just come on here saying that your going to do some crazy mod and expect people to believe you.... to many people bullshit/dream on this site, its hard to tell who is actually telling the truth. Not trying to be an ass, if your for real, good luck and lets see some pics....

Think of it like this, if Victory_Red_SS came on here and said he is doing a rwd conversion and twin turbo and building the lsj for 750hp, everyone would laugh at him..... but he showed plenty of pics, etc.... so people actually believe him.....

But post some pics and prove us all wrong......

the mech probably got into it and realized it was too much work and kind of silly. So with this kids limited knowledge, I would have just taken a Sharpey and written "2.0 Supercharged" on the valve cover, and maybe thrown on like an intake or something and he woulda never known the difference. Then he would have come on here with more BS like he spanked a Cobalt SS S/C or something.

I have a base LS and with 1/4 tank it weighed 2660 lbs. and it wasnt completely empty. I cleaned her out and removed the back seats, if I had to guess I would say with a 1/8 tank she'd probably weigh in at like 2525 - 2575 now
