We will see shes a tight fit in this thing and may need some customization. The engine is much wider then the transom area. So I'll be playing with it soon. I have most of the stuff. I need to get the 2 s pipes made and get me tips. I don't like the ones I got with the kit. I just want it to sound like this.

Re: Adding TBI
TGrace and I were discussing the blue engines the other day. I’m pretty sure he said Cobalt told him it was not an option any longer when he bought his R7. Something about the warranty.Big Block Power wrote: Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:34 pmStop crushing my dreams.shrfdeputy wrote: Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:32 pmBig Block Power wrote: Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:27 pm

That is correct. They won’t put a 520 in any cobalt anymore. It’s a shameshrfdeputy wrote: Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:39 pmTGrace and I were discussing the blue engines the other day.

I believe 2 R5’s left the factory in 2016 with a 520. One is for sale now in Atlanta. BBP has been drooling all over it.
