If you do the research the block in the spark is the same as the 2016-19 Cruze and actually the same block as the Malibu 1.5l gm’s sge(small gasoline engine) line up Spark lv7 1.4l 98hp cruze le2 1.4l turbo 155hp malibu lfv 1.5l turbo. 163hp they all use the same block so it wouldn’t be far fetch to swap either of the other engines into the spark.. if I had it my way I would use the 1.5l out of the Malibu but it never came with a manual trans option. The Cruze did. So take the 1.5l Malibu engine use a Chevy Cruze flywheel and 6 speed trans(m32)

The le2 engine is about half the price of the lfv though and is 155hp. That would be the more economical option

Yea the easiest swap to me would be the le2 out of the Cruze or the lfv 1.5l out of the Malibu. The Both share the same block at the one in our car. The lfv never came with a manual trans but I bet the flywheel from a Cruze would work. Along with the Cruze 6 speed transmission(m32 gearbox). I say the m32 because they make a limited slip differential for it. That would bump you up to 163hp at the crank with all stock parts. And I believe everything would bolt up for the most part. I have done ALOT of research and that seams to be the best option besides a custom one off build

So did anyone ever figure out glue they did the disc conversion in that video? I’ve been wanting to do this since the day I bought the car

Any chance you would be willing to share the tune?
