At least the cradle and gas tank could be the same.
CTS-2 diff would not be cast iron though.
Probably still stronger than V1 diff.
If the CTS-2 has stronger splines too, then that makes 2 good reasons for doing it.
The cast iron diff could always be put in later, if needed.
Obviously if you have big power then there is no option but to wait for the V2 parts.
With low mods, this might be a good low cost upgrade w/ cheap CTS-2 parts.

Some enterprising Caddy dealership with a guy that specializes in selling mods to V owners should put a package together for retrofitting our cars with all the necessary components/mods to do this. Would be a real feather in his cap.
Any suggestions?

Quite frankly guys, my specialty is cars- both product knowledge and getting you a fair price on one. My sponsorship of the forum is personal, so my Parts and Service Department aren't involved. If anyone is going to put together a package for this retrofit it will be Luke and James, the fine fellows at Lindsay Cadillac.
My interest in finding this out is both personal and helping out fellow V owners, and if there's anyone qualified to take this info and run with it, it's those guys.

Well, out of the two guys I was thinking about, one has just nominated the other.
Tony, can't say it enough ... thank you, thank you, thank you for looking into the feasibility of doing this.  |

How about we have a raffle and the winner gets this upgrade done at Lindsay.
That will then pave the way for others to get their cars upgraded after.  |
