6.0 + t56

6.0 + t56
I'm finally ready to buy the motor for my engine swap. My question is whether I should buy a long or short shaft 6.0
I know a short shaft is needed with a ls t56 but what I am unsure of is whether a long shaft will mate up to a lt t56. I've heard it will with a special flywheel, I don't know if that is true.
I currently don't have the motor or tranny. I have noticed that pre '01 6.0 is cheaper and a lt t56 is cheaper. I Have 799 heads that I am going to swap onto the 6.0 so the iron heads wouldn't be a problem.
If the lt t56 does mate up to the long shaft 6.0, is there any downside to doing that setup? I didn't know if the block was different or if short shaft 6.0 had a better oil system, cooling...
Which setup would you do?
