Difference in strut tower brace between v6 and Lt1

My car was a v6 car and now sports an Lt1 engine and I want to order a strut tower brace and aren't sure which to order. I know the engine bays arent different and i don't think clearance would be an issue so im confused.

Not 100%, but I think the difference is between the space each engine takes up in the bay. The actual body pieces it's attached to aren't different, but the LT1 takes up more room. Once again not 100%, just my guess. Although, the V6 model fits the SS (I think it's listed for both the V6 and SS).

im almost positive its a height clearance thing, (almost)

the v6 is smaller, but is it taller? the SS has the ram air that sits on the intake manifold which would require more clearance than just an intake manifold.

Same engine bay. You can't use a LT1 STB if your car has a V6 because of the V6 alternator location. If you did a LT1 swap, you can use a LT1 STB.
