How much did you get it for? Someone did a horrible job on the last picture, you can see the paint on the quarter panel doesnt match the door lmao.

So you sent your forged crank away but you're going to build a 2.2?

Ha, well I'm kinda on the fence for that 2.2 block my friend has because I feel like it might be cheaper to buy an lsj bare block idk I still have some time to think on it till I get my head & crank from the machine shop but I'm in no rush to get the cobalt running i drive this as a daily http://50.6.106.226/picit/1390889760.6405.iPicit.jpg

you could use your lsj crank and head with 2.2 pistons/rods/block and have a 2.2 lsj... i wouldnt use the factory 2.2 internals though.

Yup my buddy has the same set up on his car too w/ gm's stage 3 & that was my original plan but wouldn't it be more cost effective to pick up a bare lsj block for about $350? And get it cleaned up & honed??
