Default 5.3 to 6.0

I SPUN A MAIN IN MY 5.3 YESTARDAY. I built it to a 347 acouple years ago. I am probably going to swap to a 6.0. I have eagle h beam rods in my 5.3 will ibe able to use these in the 6.0 or are they not the right length they are 6.125 iu believe. also what years 6.0 have the right number of teeth for the crank sensor to match up with a 03 5.3 liter. I know these are some pretty basic questions just looking for a little bit of guidance. thanks in advance for the help.

I know that rods are the same for a 5.3l, 5.7l, and 6.0l stock. Just the bore sizes progressively get bigger. They also share the same factory cranks.

reluctor wheels are the same up until 2003 after that they are no longer a 24 tooth. To run the 6.125 rods in your new 6.0 you will have to get a piston setup for that length rod. As that is not the length the stock setup runs so you can't just put the stock 6.0 pistons on them if that is what your asking.
