Thanks i was wondering about it, if i can get more power and the same (or a little better) fuel economy, its something i'll jump all over.

no it doesn't, the 5.7 is in the Corvettes and Camaros. In the Malibu and Impala they have the the 5.3L has the DoD (displacement on demand) as well as the newer trucks and SUVs.

haha yeah that could be it. I'm entertaining the idea of the 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4L found in the Cobalts and Solstice/Sky. I would be looking for one that has a turbo on it. For the swap i would be better off getting a donor car, so at the right time if i come across one i may jump on that. Availability or lack thereof is my biggest deterrent.

The 4.8s are cheap to come by, a fairly straight forward swap, and its relative to what i know.
