6.0L Iron Block in CTS-V
6.0L Iron Block in CTS-V I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I have a CTS-V that I'm putting a 6.0L block into right now. I got a call yesterday that the mounting plates that the engine mount would go into is different between the LS6 block and the LQ4/9 iron block. Does anybody know what's different and what do I need to do to fix it?
I came across these online, but I've never heard of the shop before:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I wasn't sure, that's why I asked. But either way, I'm trying to find some info on getting that 6.0L block in there, and the only answer I seem to be getting is that I have to fab something, but I can't imagine why they would be different.
I thought they were too dude, but they're not. Check this out....

As was stated before, the rear mounting pads are not on some iron blocks.
rear mounting pads ? all the ls motors i have seen are mounted with a clam shell on each side. atleast all the one's i have seen. i never worked on a cts-v so i can't really understand the problem
Generally LS blocks have 3 mounting pads on each side. Front middle and rear. GTO, CTSV etc use the front and rear pads for their motor mount. C5's use the front and middle pads. The iron 6L blocks I've used only have the front and middle pads cast into the block, which requires a modified motor mount.
