Default Swapping sbc parts to 6.0 iron block

Hoping this is the right section to post this in. Anyways, I just purchased a 6.0 iron block thats .030 over. Well I have a set of 6" h-beam rods with wiesco pistons that are .030 over. They were in a 383 sbc i was running but i'm wondering if i Get a ls series 3.75 crank, will they work with it. I'm thinking the journals are the same size but i dont know about the total height of the block. Any help would be great....Thanks

hmm....that could pose a bit of a problem...maybe since my pistons have a .100 dome it will offset it...haha. Hopefully i can get some more insight on this subject. Come on guys, does anyone make a 3.75 stroke crank for ls engines?

You can get a 3.75 crank. You're just be better off selling the GEN I stuff and buying Gen III specific parts.
