Default Can you put a LS1 crank in a 6.0 liter block?

I was wondering if you can put a LS1 crankshaft (3.622 stroke) in a 6.0 liter iron block? What displacement will this net?

Stroke on the 5.7 and 6.0 is the same, and yes you can interchange the cranks. Assuming you have the newer 6.0 crank that isn't a different length.

The only diff AFAIK is the center drilling on the 5.7 crank to reduce mass.
