Default 5.3 crank into ls1????? Help

Can I put a 5.3 crank into an ls1 without issue? Its just a stock driver. I know the balance is probably a hair off but shouldnt be enough to make a difference as it would if this was a high RPM race engine but its not. Your thoughts?

Yeah, it will work but I would balance it. I don't think the difference between the bobweights are just "a hair".

U already have one thread open w multi suggestions that u must balance the crank w the rods and pistons to operate safely. What was the use of starting another ?
