As I remember, rad, hoses, factory mounts were riveted in with LEAD rivets and just melted out with an oxy/acetalyne tourch, bolt in the new mounts, and fab up a new exhaust.
A Winsor 351 fit the C6 bell housing.
I went from 14 mpg highway to 15 mpg highway with the original 3.55 gears and 2wd.
It was cake AND well worth it!
