Yea I know, but those were the two I found around the same size.

updated - Adapter plate should be finished by early next week, and then we will begin assembly with pictures posted for viewing. Once we get a car sourced, we will have installed pictures, along with dyno'd whp gains...

sounds like a lot of work n money. wont a 2.2 give you the same horse power? I see putting one in with a turbo if I wanted more hp.??

watcha talking about? swapping in a Cobalt motor? Already priced it, with labor and supplies it's around a $6k swap...

[SPICYAVEO]

labor free ill do it. and I have connections for the 2.2 family owned junk yard. but no time for toying with that stuff.

already looked into it, it's more than just taking one motor out and putting another in. You have to fabricate your own motor mounts, lower the crossmember about 2" and move it forward some (basically need a new crossmember), you will have to splice the wiring harnesses... it's a lot more than swapping Honda motors...

yeh, specially since well, they arent exactly 2 gm cars "per say." i was lookin in to it a while back and we had it figured out but then it turned out to look like it would have been more work than it was worth, so back to the old drawin board. turbos, nitrous, and a good tune will kick some ass

that's why I need you Mike! lol...

so my machinist will have the adapter plate done this weekend, he's doing this one as a test using his Manual Lathe (much cheaper for me) but we will be doing the final production adapter using his CNC Plasma Cutter. Therefore, I need a list of people who ACTUALLY want the Stage 1 Beginner Kit, and could afford it now. Or people would would just want the adapter plate to use to make their own kit.

For those that purchase the Beginner kit, upgrade packages will be available once other kits are assembled.

pics? I don't see how you can get it to fit without moving the radiator or the a/c. I tried a while ago and was having a problem with fitment so I just gave up.

[xtreme 2]

uses the factory header, which allows for correct fitment... Will have assembled pics by the middle of next week (still waiting on a few more parts), and should have dyno results as soon as I can source a test car...
