ls1, ls6, lq4, and lq9 all use the same 3.622 stroke. the displacement difference is in the bore; 4.00 vs 3.898.

6L has a solid center while the 5.7L is drilled

Same stroke but the 6.0L crank is stronger b/c it's solid and not drilled. But the 5.7L crank is lighter b/c it's drilled.

With F/I I'd use the 6.0L solid crank
