Default v6 swap

Everybody knows how much the search feature sucks on forums so sorry if this subject has been covered redundantly.

My gsr motor is blown and pretty much needs replaced. I got a magazine a while back that mentioned doing v6 swaps. I'm looking at a c32a which came in the Legends and newer TL's. Has anybody on here personally done or heard stories of any issues dealing with these? I have the proper suspension in order to compensate for the extra weight of the engine so that's not an issue.

Here's a couple pics that are a little bit more recent.

Finally painted with my ek front end done, CF hood, lip and spoiler:

Hitting the trailer after being blown spoiler removed:

Thanks for any help yall can supply me with.

Not sure of C-series swaps but J-series are more common. My friend has a J32 swapped EG which didn't take much time for him to do. You should post any questions you have in the Hybrid section as there are many V6 threads and builds on there.

Not to sure about the C32, i would go with the J35a4.....or the best, J32a2 with LSD 6 speed.
Check out J32a.com, good info there.

I'm sure you mean the J-series, because C-Series is a 90-degree v6 and you will need some fabricating work to get the tranny to even fit in the car.
