Puting a LSX in a CTS?

How difficult would it be to put a Lsx motor and 6 speed in a V6 2003 CTS since they do make the CTSV? has anyone seen a website that has done this yet? Im thinking it would be cheaper than getting a CTSV seening as i would MOD that anyways.

You would need alot of parts from a CTSV..like the Cradle, Rear Suspension, all that stuff..and that's if it will even bolt up to the chassis.

I would buy a CTSV.

You can get a decent CTSV for pretty cheap, which is much more than just a different engine. And by the time you got it in there it wouldn't be much difference in price (counting the value of the V6 car) but it would be much more headache.
