Default Anyone use a V6 K-member w/ LS1?

It drops the LT1 in the engine bay a significant amount. Wondering if anyone is using one with a LS1?

Won't work. Had to change that when I swapped over my 2000 V6 to the LS1. Mounts wouldn't match up.

Plus... Im sure the improvement in handling from lower center of gravity would be AMAZING.... but I'm pretty sure that the hassles with clearance between things like pulleys and sway bars and other things like that, not to mention making it impossible to run headers for instance, would outweigh any of the benefits...

The only way I could really justify doing such a thing would be if it made it possible to fit a roots/screw type blower in
