Cobalt to HHR engine swap
I'm new here so, HELP.
I picked up a 2006 cobalt SS totaled in the rear end for a parts car. it still starts and drives (kind of) .I drive a 2008 HHR with a tired 2.2. I had wanted to swap the engine and trans, computers, harness,and exhaust down pipe from the cobalt to my HHR. Question 1 Has any one done this yet? 2 Is there something I should be looking at in the 2.0L that might fail? 3 Should I have the computer re programed? I have done engine swaps before, but you can get in to trouble. No one knows all. Thanks everyone, |
At first blush, I'd say that you'll be ahead in both time and money if you ditch the deceased Cobalt, sell your current HHR, and just buy an SS.
Here's a thread on the subject, with a couple of sub-threads linked in it, just click the link below...... https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?p=703763 Not trying to be a wet blanket, but it's major surgery and something you'd never recoup your investment on. |
Thanks,
Have lots of time (retired) need to stay active in the shop. Other projects done (Some in my images) thought this would be a good one. |
I have a 2.2 from a 11 hhr with 30k on it I might sell.
|
If things don't work out with the cobalt I'll keep this in mind.
Thanks. |
