LAP swap questions.
Ok now I know this is going to sound stupid and you guys are going to say "just buy an ss" but I want to do this anyway.
To put it plain and simple. I want to swap an LAP with an LNF.
Now the LNF i was going to get from ZZP ZZPerformance - Gen 3 LNF/LDK Short Block #ZZ-LDKSB unless you guys have another way.
I don't mind building the engine but the only trouble that I could foresee is that the flywheel pattern would be different and I would have to fabricate some custom parts.
I also know that I would need a couple sensors, ECU, ect.
Anyways this is going to happen maybe not anytime soon, but within the next couple years.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is an automatic(4t40?)(2009 Cobalt LT) but you already knew that since it's an LAP. It is not really my daily driver so I can do whatever I want with it. Basically it's just for fun.

Cranks are different meaning the flywheel is different meaning you cant use an f23 without a custom clutch i believe. Im not sure about the ecu, but i doubt they are the same. Most cobalts with a motor "swap" require the replacement of the entire wiring loom from a donor car.

I was looking at building the LAP but it seems that there is not really anything for it. Also I heard the block cant really handle 300+hp. I mean i don't want 500hp but like 300-350. I went looking for pistons and crank but found squat. And I would trade it in but its not totally paid off.

The lap bottom end is almost if not 100% identical to an l61. The gen2 block should be able to hold over or around 400hp so you should be fine there. Stock crank will be fine up to around 600-650hp. Pistons and rods with new bearings and all the goodies should do you well for your power goals. L61 pistons and rods should do the trick

So what would you recommend that I get? links/name of products would be awesome. Also I was browsing the thread for days and couldn't find anybody that replaced pistons and/or rods.
