Not true at all. This is the 2.0 (same as mounts/size as the U20SED, ect) that was put into a kalos not long ago....

"Finally the C20GET was lifted up into the chassis and that is when we were pleasantly surprized to find that the mounts aligned perfectly with zero modifications.
This was very unexpected so we were very excited and glad since this means that the engine is perfectly balanced and aligned, which reduced the install time estimate from 3 hours to about 45 minutes. "
They later said they slightly modified one of the mounts though.
To Swap in the Cobalt Motor?
