Default 6.0 swap trouble. Please help

I am currently in the process of doing a 6 liter engine swap. the problem I have run into is the 6 liter camshaft sticks out 400 of an inch further I'm curious if anyone knew if they made a flywheel conversion kit or am I having to change the crankshaft itself. any ideas please let me know need to get done by monday.

Yes there is a flywheel spacer w/bolts available. Try the search function and you will probably even get the part #.

this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but will give you an idea about the extra .4" length....you must have a 99-00 6.0?

Yea it came out of 2000 suburban. Only has 10 miles on it. Still confused on this because its to far out. What would a spacer do?

If I recall correctly, you need a "dished" flexplate w/the spacer to use older style trans.There's lots of info on here about it.

Sounds like he is trying to go the other way around. Long flange crank into an f-body. The spacer would be used with a short flange and an older trans to make it longer.
