I've read on here that it sits lower for an LT1 because the engine is taller ? not sure. I had the entire frontend dropped out so I used the LT1 k-member

The stock k-member has holes for V8's and 90 degree V6's and a nother set of holes for V6-60 engine mounts.

They could have all ways changed them.
In the 3rd gens there are just holes that don't get used with one engine or the other.
See if you can get any pictures of the stock kmember and see if there are 2 sets of holes.
Find people that have done it, don't listen to any one else.
