flywheel for 5.3
5.3 will work? ive looked into it alot because im unable to use the lsx clutch because of the 26spline. 4.8L v8 and the 6.0L flywheels will work with the ls1, not so sure about 5.3L. i went to a salvage yard today to buy mine, there computer shows only the 4.8 and 6.0 have the same flywheel- nothing else

The reason the junk yard only shows the 4.8 and the 6.0 having the same flywheel is they are the only trck motors that came with a manual trans the 5.3 only had an auto behind it.

Keep in mind, 4.8 & 6.0 from '99-'00 used a different flywheel than from '01 on. The crank stuck out of the block the same amount as a SBC in those years. The 5.3, '01 on 4.8 & 6.0, and all LSx engines have a crack stick out that is .400" less than a SBC.

I've got a Richmond behind a 6.0, but was looking to keep a 10 spline muncie originally.
Any LS1 flywheel will bolt up.
For a 10 spline disk, check out aftermarket clutch manufacturers. I found 1 that lists the same PN for 26 spline BBC disk and LS disk. They also list a 10 spline disk that works with the BBC pressure plate. That 10 spline should work with the LS pressure plate.

OKay I have a 1989 Chevy silverado C1500 4.3 I am putting in a 2003 5.3 from a Chevy Silverado with a NV3500 what exact FLYWHEEL DO I NEED??
I already bought brackets to move the A/C high. I bought 350 cups and mounts with plates to set back motor 1 inch. please help. I have a flywheel from ebay but now fear I will not have the offset of .40 that is needed. How do I know? One more thing. Any videos on how to connect the 4 wires set up to my 1989 chevy silverado ???
