09 Chevy cobalt sstc sedan
Hey everybody 🤙 I’m new to the site. I had my cobalt for about a year and a half now. Got it when it had 70k miles and the engine stopped on me at about 110k. Mostly my fault for always racing and going alittle hard on the engine 🙁 but anyways the car started smoking blueish white smoke mostly when I changed gears. Eventually she gave up on me on my way to work although the engine did crank just didn’t want to turn all the way on. Ended up asking my friend to help because tbh I don’t know much about engine. He took out my engine there was oil mixed with water and coolant everywhere including the intercooler. Turbo is probably jacked but it was working before it stopped it was actually running pretty good before it stopped. Anyways I want to rebuild the engine but with better pistons and what not. But in the mean time I need a running vehicle because I do have 2 kids. Basically I’m here to ask if I can put a 2.2 engine from an 2010 hhr since it’s cheaper then getting a used lnf and just drop it in the cobalt. It’ll be way slower and quite embarrassing if someone asks to look under my hood lol but just to get me around. What do you guys think?
Thank you in advance ! God bless !

Oh okay 👌 would it be to much work to do that with the 2.2 ? Believe me I would much rather have an lnf with the turbo in it. Money is alittle tight tho I’ve seen used lnf engines for around 1500-2000. We have the lnf engine out we were thinking about taking it to a machine shop so they can fix it. It should still be repairable

OP get a new LDK from zzp for ~2000 shipped, it's a crate engine that has never been ran so you'll need to run a proper break in but it will last for another couple hundred thousand miles
