The Caddy yes, the impala no. The high content 2016 motor rated at 335 horse is only in the Camaro and the caddy. All the other 3.6 motors are less than 310 horse.

Given how things are nowadays, the low-power V6 could have the same general architecture and block as LGX, but a different runner, tune, and possibly heads. Modular designs like that save a lot of money and are also very easy for the aftermarket to develop a product that fit multiple engines

It's like the small-block V8s, LT1 in C7/6G Camaro and L86 you find in the trucks have the same block, crank, and even heads, just with different runners, lubrication, accessories, and tunes.
