3.6L from 2.8L should be very straight forward, I have seen that swap on this forum a few times. Do some searching you'll find those threads. 3.2L will be a different type of swap. Since the 3.6L is the 2.8L bored to 3.6L that's pretty much %99 of the differences I know.

    Cadillac CTS First Generation Forum - 2003 - 2007
