6.0L Crankshaft flange depths? early vs late? Is there a diffrence in crankshaft depths for early vs late model 6.0ls? The flange that the flex plate bolts to? Would this hinder the install of a 98-02 t56?I've heard several stories. Thanks!!

yes some are different, my lq4 from a 2000 pickup has the thicker crank in the back. Not postive but i think 99-00 have the thick one and 01+ are thiner i would double check that. I was going to use my 4l60e but without a different flexplat or converter it wouldnt fit right. Cant remmber if the starter still lined up. In the long run i just got a 4l80e out of an 03 pickup and used that with the flexplat from the 2000 truck and worked great, now i just need a 4000 stall to really wake it up. Dont know what you could do for a t56 setup. I think the thicker one stuck out about 1/2inch more, took me forever to realize theirs different lq4 cranks.
