Hello I have been looking at this idea for a while now and missed a $1000 cobalt a month ago. I know there are several people who have posted about using different motors. I have read many where the Cobalt proponents say you can get more than enough HP out of this motor.
The one thing you can't change is the sound. I have a winter beater I drive. A great car but not much in the body and interior due to a drunk owner. But with only 60,000 miles you can hardly complain. It is a Mazda MX6. Sure the Cobalt motor will probably have more power but the sound of the V6 is such fine music I would love to put it in.
The music is why I own a Ducati and a Motoguzzi and not a BMW boxer motor. It's just no fun to go fast if the music is not there.
So the question is what is the distance across, height and depth of the engine compartment? At least I can see if there is a hope in heck of playing around and stuffing it in? This is not a must it is just a wish and the fun of building it is all part of the total package. That said I do know a professional A ticket welder who would come help if I asked.
Thanks
