To make new cars pass smog now days , you practically have to do that
I am on the "look out" for an entire donor car. (a CTS or a 2005+ GTO, 6 speed of corse) Just the engine/tranny wont do. It is WAYYY to much work to try to build up a custom wire harness to convert all the stuff and then try to find some one to hack your PCM. Then you get the engine in just to find out you need more stuff from the donor car to shut up the check engine lite

This is funny, I will probobly get a donor car for an engine swap before I even get a KAPPA My wife dont talk much when I bring this stuff up

I will own a V6 Kappa even if GM does not offer one as an engine upgrade. I have made my mind up, I want the Cadillac CTS 3.6L V6 with a 6 Speed manual tranny. And I will do the conversion my self if I have too :)
