Honestly I'm not even sure what a fair price would be. I'm open to input on that. I also couldn't say if there are any changes to the stock engine configuration. None were performed by me and I'm not knowledgeable enough to have spotted any it came with when I pulled the engine out. If there's...

I have the donor parts from a 2007 Cobalt SS Supercharged that I collected in this build thread: Kevin's PA Goblin Build Unfortunately, I've been unable to obtain a property where I could complete a Goblin build in my last 6 years of searching. Seeing as how they're going to stop production of...

I made a lot of progress on the build. A couple friends came over to help and made the process a whole lot easier. Got a majority of the donor ripped apart and parts stored in the basement. Still have a couple little things to do before I can sell off the shell and I have a few questions at the...

A little update on the build. I've started stripping the interior and labeling the wiring harness. I also got the engine started and verified all of the gears worked without issue. The weather hasn't been great the last month, but I'm hoping I'll be able to move a little faster now that we've...

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping for. So does the Turbocharged equivalent of this engine not have forged internals? Also, do you know of any good reading materials for familiarizing myself with the engine?

Congrats! This gives me hope for the future. Hopefully the issues and headaches you've dealt with to make this possible will aid others in PA and make the process easier.

Any word at all or have they been maintaining radio silence?

Best of luck! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your inspection.

I'm thinking of getting a PA build going. Worried about the inspection requirements though. Have you started your build?
