can i put a 2.0 in my LS 2.2 ?
im really wondering if i find a 2.0 motor from an ss. can i fit it in my 07 Ls. im talking about EVERYTHING from that ss. well the whole frontend of parts.
in about a year im going to have a second car and ill have the hhr to play around in and put alot of money in to .
i have an auto Ls btw.
so it makes me wonder also if id have to change alot in the inside also . like add the clutch and shifter . thats if it would fit in my car

You might be better off just getting a SS than trying to complete a motor swap these days. What happens when you need something like an ECM flash?? Think the dealer is going to be willing to do a 2.0 flash on a car that came with a 2.2 or a 2.4? Think he's even going to know how to decide what flashes might apply? If it were me I'd sell the car and buy an SS.

hmmm if i stayed with my 2.2 then id wanna TRY to put a manual instead of having an auto trans in it . the auto is kinda ... annoying you can say . as long as i can get a short shifter also lol
i dont like the ss styling is cool and all . i just like the look of my LS better . so thats why i was asking if i can put a 2.0 in it .
but if i did sell my hhr to get an ss . id probley switch the front clip and rear bumper .
i know it would be something that people on here would say "WHY T F. would you want to do that "
