As for the swap comment, I don't really know too many people on the site. At least, I don't know you. Most of the people i've met on here are pretty... new... to cars. The word "Whip" threw me off
A 4G-63 would make it a badass sleeper, no question there

As far as I go, it's just been really small work. The only thing major that i've done was replace a 4g-63 from a 91 TSI. Wasn't hard, other than it being an Automatic (I'm sure someone knows -.-)
The Balt's had nothing really big done to it. No internal work, HE on the way. The factory boost gauge just went out about 2 weeks ago, and i've been looking for a pod ever since. If it breaks, make it better
Also, my Cobalt has only had 1 owner.

You mean the previous owner ran nitrous lines for you.
Oh, and if you're really serious about putting a 4g-63 motor into this truck, you may want to reconsider unless you know how to rewire a harness. The stock motor mounts will mount the 4g-63, but the thermostat will hit the firewall.
Fuel lines would need to be replaced with ones capable of higher pressures, Fuel pump, etc.
As for bolting right in, that sounds like a pretty un-researched statement :P

2...Either re-shape the firewall for clearance issues or http://www.jayracing.com/index.php?main_page=index they have everything for d50 swaps
3...Any dsm fuel pump would work...or mount a fuel cell in the engine bay (less plumbing)
4...4G's do pretty much bolt up to these things. Been done countless times and have done one myself.

I was searching jayracing too and actually couldnt find all the parts they used to fab for these things. They used to have everything for these. If you do eventually want to do a swap, Id just call them, Im sure they still make it all.
