Wow. There is quite a few RWD cobalts built by them. Wonder how much they would charge for a RWD setup?

The only FEASIBLE 'cheap' way to make a V8 cobalt is use a northstar



PERIOD

Forget about cheap and RWD...or trying to turn a RWD engine sideways and making a one off FWD V8


Because that will be expensive.

The physical size of the northstar is smaller.

At the very least the GTI needed one off axles, but other than that it was a pretty simple swap.

Expensive I can get around that lol ill go to mexico there's this place were they put stolen engines in so price wise not worry too much but would be cool to see a cobalt v8 someone rolls up next to you in a camaro and you smoke him and do a victory burn out with the back tires lol

It's cool I realize a lot of people don't pay attention to every little detail of all these cars.

I am a human sponge when it comes to cars.
