Default C5 motor mounts work on CTS-V?

I have a pair of like new C5 Corvette motor mounts that I would like to use on my V if possible. Does anyone know if the C5 motor mounts fit?

I would like to know as well, but it looks like it will have to wait until I actually get the motor out.

I have a set of C5 pfadt mounts that "look" like they will work. One difference I can already visually see is that you would have to relocate the alignment pin in order for it to work on a V, if the dimensions are even correct.

If thats the only issue, then no big deal, just drill another hole in the mount. There are many more options for C5 mounts than CTS-V mounts.

In pictures the vette mounts look much shorter. What if you also had the engine-side mounting pedistals from the vette?

Depends. If they are longer it might work but since the vette has the batwing oil pan the whole thing is probably lower in the car than the V.

I swapped to creative steel mounts from the corvette style ones rc51 made a while back. No complaints holding a cammed 408 stroker.

Any idea on a timeframe? I will be purchasing a set of motor mounts shortly and am undecided on brand.

We have a few sets completed, we need to do another test fitting and they should be ready for production. I can at least have pictures and possible a price this week.

Thanks for asking!

UMI! About time you entered the V market. How about making some cradle bushings that are reasonably priced?
