The C6 and CA both take the same gear and bolt in. After getting the car up and driving i figured out why i had so many problems with this project. Custom valvecover hit the brake booster. Transmission crossmember being off about 2 inches. Speedo cable short. Swaybar hitting damper. Custom headers hitting steering gearbox. It was all caused by one thing. I used a truck 390 block because of the increased thickness of the block for boring/stroking for a 434. Well turns out the motor mounts on the truck block are located about 3 inches forward vs the cars 390. So when putting the motor/C6 in the car. everything got moved back 3 inches causing all my problems. Never would have guessed the mounts would have been moved on the truck block. Hope my problems help out others who are thinging of doing this.
