im getting a 2000 lq4 (iron head version) and want to put a t56 behind it. what year t56's will work? will everything just bolt up or will i need anything, i heard the cranks are longer on these motors?- any spacers, or will it just bolt up?

thanks, Gary

Gary your gonna have to find a later model crank from a 6.0, 2001 and up keep an eye out in the sister truck forum they have them occ. in the classifieds.Find an LS1 flywheel, get a 98-02 Camaro or a GTO t56 and your set. BTW what ya gonna put it in? I did this swap in my daily driver and I love it.

will i be able to just swap out the cranks and be good or will the rotating assembly need to be balanced?

Probably wouldnt hurt to go ahead and have them balanced to be on the safe side. I would also throw in some ARP rod bolts,flywheel,and pressure-plate bolts.Cheap insurance.

if its a factory crank i wouldnt worry about balancing it, aftermarket cranks are typically way differant weight and need to be balanced to your rotating ***, but a stock crank with stock pistons should be good to go. but definatley splurge for the rod bolts.
