Default Engine cradle

Picked up an 05' vortec and need an engine cradle. I have read on the Inet that cradles for LS type motors are different than for standard chevy small blocks. Anyone know if this is true?

Thanks
Bob

I believe thats true. I work at a performance store and we have bbc, sbc, ford, and lsx engine cradles. I think motofleet is the brand we can or something similar.

An ls will fit on a standard small block cradle. I have 2 from Jegs. It's not a perfect fit because the ls is shorter than the small block but it will fit just fine.

Thanks for the help. I purchased a cradle from Combs Enterprises in Herington, Ks. Very nice.
