It looks the same to me besides a much smaller turbo. is the engine also forged like the cobalt's? would it also be possible to swap it with a manual tranny? :P The best chevy Sleeper!!111

Technically no, its an LHU (and even its successor is being talked about now), but its an updated LNF.

And yes there's many smaller turbos lol

i've seen dyno sheets of it making 305 whp and like 335 tq. I'd probably rather put on a K04 and slap on a F35 from a cobalt and :p I just love the sound of the LNF engine with a turbo on it.

Here's a list showing GM engines and the LHU GM Inside News Forum - Engine Guide

Pretty sure the only difference between an lnf and an lhu/ldk is the bottom end. Head is the same

GS model is cool. Doesn't look like a Buick all that much. There's a white one here at work that always catches my eye. Nice car.

Yeah if they ever make it. That motor will be in the ATS soon with a 7 speed though, that'll be sick.
