I would venture a guess that a C6 or 7 transaxle cost multiple times more than I paid for my complete engine/trans/ECM/harness package with only 525 miles on it. These V6 engines are not in the “LS” price range.

And while I did have to build motor mounts and reshape/rebuild the K member, adapting a transaxle would have been beyond my capabilities.
