I own a 2013 CTS 3.6L Premium. My plans with a LS Swap is to a 2012 preferably a 2013 6.2L CTS V setup. I have an estimate cost for okay low millage marriage, $15,000. Before that I am slowly adding cosmetics like a Hood thinking of going for a Stngray Hood and a OEM Spoiler. Wire Mesh Grill and Dash Cluster. If I must change the Front Bumper then that will need to have done. Your work I do hope has paid off for you. Very sweet of you to do the video. I have not watched the others if there are any yet. Looking forward to the next video of this project!

@@chrisreynolds2410 I'm thinking about going for an LS9 instead it's a little bit more expensive. When comparing to the LSA. One video I looked at yesterday mentioned that he thinks it's overkill for an LS engine. But it might be better than trying to get the truck block for the LSA. 640 horsepower instead of 556. 6 speed automatic transmission available for it. I think it's the 6L80.

I may have missed in your vids, but did you start off with a rwd or awd platform? Ive just gotten my subframe and drivetrain removed lastnight so after cleaning and tidying up brake lines ill be on my way back in. I opted for the weld in style mounts as the v mounts are no longer easy or affordable to come by. Looking at my awd sub im thinking i will have to plate it near the steering rack to have somewhere to put my mounts

Join a bunch of cts and ctsv pages on Facebook. Look for part outs, or ask if anyone has any for sale. Other option, go on car-part.com look up 03-07 cts, engine cradle(under the body tab), find wrecking/parts yards selling a cradle, call them, and ask if they’d sell just the mounts.

That I’m not sure of. I don’t think so. Best way to tell, is jack up the rear. And with the transmission in neutral, rotate one back tire. If the other tire rolls the same direction with the tire you’re rotating, you have lsd. Of it doesn’t rotate at all or goes backward, no lsd.

So get an 08-14 V subframe. And it’ll all bolt in. Everything else is the same concept. Get V parts to make things easier. But you can fab almost everything if you wanted.

Its just gonna take some time, hardwork, faith and knowing the right people to accomplish them. Started a GoFundMe to try and cover the repairs. Been at it 3 weeks balls to the wall and managed to meet 3 carry people that donated. I've raised $24. dollars total. I'm grateful for that! But I still have a ways to go to hit the goal of $7000.
