Default Anyone Modify Thier Cradle To Mount A C6 Diff?

I was wondering if anyone has modified their C5 cradle to accept a C6 diff.....I want to swap a C6 diff in and if it is possible to modify my cradle that would allow me to build the diff.

You can swap to a C6 rear cradle. You will also need to swap to a C6 transmission, and unless you have coil overs you will need C6 LCA's and a C6 rear spring too.

Since I have the T56 I can just swap the transmission extension housing to a C6 model. I would much rather not have to buy the C6 cradle and such, would allow me to spend money on the diff building it stronger lol.

Why not put C6 internal parts in the C5 case?

because the case is a lot weaker than a C6 case
