Are they the same as the V8 mounts, just mounted on different locations on the frame?

Im just trying to gather all my parts for the LQ/T56 swap before I actually start tearing into it.

I am not sure if these dwgs and parts lists apply to your situation (probably not):

V6 Frame & mounting:

same motor mounts, just in a different location on the frame

I know this because my truck had a 4.3 and I had to move the mounts to fit a v8

Yep the mounts are the same but the piece between the frame and the mounts should be different because the frame is wider at the V6 position and narrower at the V8 position.

I have the 4.3 cross member and mounts out of a 86 4x4 that had a 4.3

I will see if I can find them and get some pics not sure where they are but I know I have them

I still have the 4.3 as well it used some cool looking factory headers
