very impressed!! i always thought a cavilier converted to rear wheel drive with a small block in it would be cool growing up. rear wheel drive cobalt with an ls is that but so much better!

This is a neat idea that you have. I like your pictures and clean looking work. It would be nice to have the pics here if you can. It's going to be one FUN piece for sure. Good luck and keep us updated.

Pretty cool... you really should avoid doing the widebody - looks weird. Try to find a way to tuck the wheels under the car using high positive offset wheels.

Looks like your making good progress over the holiday. The engine is in, right? If love to see a photo from further back showing the front of the car (3/4 view) with that LS poking up from the engine bay.

Looks wicked. Next question, is that motor far enough back to fit a rad in the stock location ? If not, what are you planning for cooling ?

Actually the gto rad & cooling fan setup with condensor fits in there quite nicely!
