5.3 5.7 6.0 cranks?

I know they are the same stroke but is there any difference in what they will handle?

the ls1 crank is gun drilled the truck cranks are not...so thereoticaly the truck crank should be a tad stronger ,but heavier and harder to balance.....

Sense the crank is heavier it should need less weight when i put the forged rods and pistons on?

That is good to know that the 5.3 crank is the same as the 6.0

5.7-6.0

the only difference i seen when i did my swap was the back of the crank where tha flywheel bolts.. the 6.0 was thicker then the ls1, so if you use the 5.3 or 6.0 crank your gonna need to buy a starter for a 6.0 or 5.3..
