Default crankshaft question

I'm sure that this isn't a new thought, but will the 6.0 truck crank fit the 5.7 block? Is it the same crank, but the 6.0 had a larger bore? Just looking for a stroker option for less than that of the $2k forged cranks..
Thanks in advance!

It is the same 3.620" crank as the 5.7. The bore is larger on a 6.0L.

You would need to grind rod journals from 2.100" stock to 2.00" small journal SBC size. You would have to have crank rehardened(nitrided) because its only around .010" deep. Not a bad idea though as long as a nice radius is maintained with grind work. Im not sure crank grinder could duplicate rolled fillet radius like factory uses.
