LS6 and LS1 are the same as far as motor mounts, you can use the same mounts that the guys putting the LS1 in the 3rd gens are.

the acutally mount on the engine you can use.. the clam shell or whatever they call it.. keep the long bolts too.. you'll need those too.. but the mounts that are in the k-member are no use.. you'll need special ones for our apps or a tubular K with ls1 mounts

and sinces its a vette you will need a new oil pan from an f-body and then everything from the flywheel back will have to be f-body as well

Ah, and one other thing as well, the Vette is a fly by wire throttle on the car, not cable. So you will have to either change the throttle body out, or put in a gas pedal with this setup on it.
