Default LS1-LS6 diferences

I am putting together a LS6 from a 05 CTS-V and I am looking for the following parts. Are parts from a LS1 the same?

Looking for help. This is what I need.


Front drive brackest and accessories. Alternator, Waterpump etc
oil pan and gasket
windage tray and bolts
cam retainer plate and bolts
front timing cover and gasket
rocker arms
pedistals and bolts
harmonic balencer (unless you want mine)
all engine sensors
plunger for rear oil gally (goes under rear timing cover)
woodruff key for crankshaft
valley pan and gasket

All the highlighted items are different between the cts-v LS6 and the F-body ls1. They're all different again to the Y-body Corvette LS1 and LS6, except for the valley cover which doesn't need to be changed in any case.

Right but can I grab the Accessory brackets from say a Vette? or even a Truck that had a LT motor? Will they all bolt up?

I can also use a oil pan and windage tray from say a Firebird or vette they will fit the LS6 also.

This motor is going in a Jeep TJ so I don't need everything stock to the CTS-V

I know that vettes have a different accessory configuration, but I think that they should work.

The vette's, F body's and trucks all run the serpentine belt a different distance from the block. Thus you need to get a matched set of accessories.

I'm not sure which catagory the CTS and GTO's fall into
