Are 60deg motor mounts different than other V6 mm?
Just curious how hard it would be to put a 3.8 or 4.3 in place of a 2.8/3.1. I am only concerned with the motor positioning. This is only if I decide to start a super/turbo 6 project.
I am trying to remember if the motor mounts were the same--I don't think so, but whatever.

Has anyone tried to get polyurethane motor mounts for our cars? The Energy Suspension website lists their motor-mount-compatibility by GM part #, not application. I never bothered to call GM to try to find out our motor mount part #'s.

I have a V8 700R4, V6 700R4, and a 2004R tranny laying around (I figured the 3.8/4.3 would work with the 2004R for sure, prob the V8 700R4 tranny as well). I think I would eventually like to do a twin turbo V6, but right now am just in initial planning stages.
I don't want to monkey around w/ using a 60 degree six. The GN's proved the 3.8 worked fine, and the Typhoon/Syclone did the same for the 4.3 engine.

Why go to a 3.8, though? You'll have to do the same amount of work as putting a v8 in. Just curious!
