you would also need mounts, some sort of intake, axles, not sure if hubs would work or not. there isa big list. you really need to buy a wrecked SS from 05-06. im not sure if 07 would have different connectors as the Cobalt went to the LAN connections in 07

The PCM is what we mean, yes.
Basically, you're going to gut the car and replace everything. It's a tall job. Thing to do is find a wrecked SS and transplant it all into your LS.
It would be a whole lot easier and less expensive to replace your transmission and then turbo your car.
