I was just seein if anyone could give me a rough estimate on how much it would cost to swap a 2.0 supercharged or turbocharged stock cobalt ss engine and trans. into a cobalt Ls base minus the cost of the engine cuz i can get that just cant do the swap myself. ---

Just daily drive it and save your money for a car worth modifying. What is the point of turboing a daily drive throwaway Cobalt? ---

I agree with 4 doors, in order to build a nice car you must own 2 cars. I mean if you want to build a cobalt its not like they are hard to find. ---
